MAYO LAD has shown improved form since returning to action and opened his account at Wolverhampton last week. Today's ground holds no fears given he finished a close-up second in similar going on his reappearance and Richard Hannon's colt gets the nod. Ficelle won a seller at Leicester in soft ground last time and she's likely to be in the firing-line again along with recent Lingfield runner-up Christopher Chua while Arabian Flight has been placed on her last couple of starts on the Polytrack finishing ahead of Marie's Fantasy on both occasions and looks best of the remainder.
