Oso Rapido won at Redcar before placing at Beverley and should be in the mix again but SOARING STAR (NAP) is preferred. The latter has undergone wind surgery since placing in novice company at Redcar on his reappearance and further improvement is expected from Kevin Ryan’s charge now handicapping. Cruising is a novice winner and Internationalangel was second in a maiden recently while Tadaawol and La Voix Magique are both looking to take advantage of a slide down the weights and Lion Tower gets a change of headgear as he drops in class.
