Some of these probably have a bit to prove at present. Clyne was easy to back at Ffos Las and well beaten while Robin The Raven is best watched until showing signs of a revival. The jury is definitely out on Mount Mews and Black Sam Bella was last seen in May of last year when completing her hat-trick. She also needs further and Coeur de Lion appears best over 2m over hurdles even though eh stays further on the Flat. Mason Jar won three times in novice company earlier this season but came unstuck against seasoned handicappers last time at Fontwell. Notre Pari may be more forward than stablemate Whiskey In The Jar but the vote goes to ONE NIGHT IN MILAN (NAP), who possibly found a second run at Kelso coming too soon after he’d made a smooth winning reappearance at the Scottish track.
