A sure sign summer is on its way with a 5:15pm finish. Of the three winners Tisho may prove to be the best, although none of them have an easy task under their penalty. Jonjo O'Neill sets a poser by saddling a couple of runners. Diamont Noir is out of a winning hurdler and Hello Dee is out of a mare that won six races, five of them over fences. Nicky Henderson has a powerful string of bumper horses and Mardello is certainly one to keep an eye on, but the vote goes to Scamp, who shaped with plenty of promise behind Royal Rosa at Newbury, when in the care of Don Cantillon.
