Reconnaissance was only fifth making his nursery debut at Sandown but collateral form suggests he should have the beating of recent Chelmsford winner Nayslayer on today’s terms. Diva D left previous form behind when successful at Wolverhampton on her first run in a handicap and should go well if transferring that improvement to Turf. Red Armour won a maiden over track and trip three weeks ago and Alsimsaam is also unexposed. Richard Hannon runs two in this and both are interesting. DANCING SPEED is given another chance ahead of St Ouen even though he finished last of four when a hot favourite at Chelmsford last time – he may not have handled the Polytrack as well as his rivals.
