Verdict
A few have claims in an ordinary handicap including Hereford winner Beau Haze and top weight Clongowes. Shoot To Fame probably has more scope than former stablemate Airton and a drop back in trip might help What A Baloo. MYSTIC COURT (NAP) is only a plater but best on sharp tracks and on quicker surfaces so did well to finish fifth on easier going at Taunton in December. He’s been dropped a further 2lb since and Nick Mitchell has booked a useful conditional who takes off a further 3lb.
