Scorchio came here for the first time last month and landed a nursery in good style. She was 7lb higher and her rider claimed 2lb less when narrowly beaten over 6f three weeks ago, with Milliethemollie and Stopitnowjulia both well beaten, and is up another 6lb. That could hand the initiative to MARY SHOELACES, who was two-and-a-half lengths behind in the former event and will be 12lb better off. Tarsus has run a bit better than form figures suggest and makes his handicap debut though was just behind Signor Ferrari is a course and distance maiden earlier this month.
