Betweenthesticks has been racing over 7f but failed to beat a rival when last seen over track and trip while 5f winner Whistle And Flute is fitted with headgear after a poor effort on his first start over today’s trip. GOTTAIFAN has failed to threaten in either start so far but it could prove significant that Jim Crowley takes over the reins for his only ride of the meeting and improvement is expected from Tom Dascombe’s charge. Outland Mission is related to a winner in Italy and is already gelded.
