A decent prize on offer and Sir Mark Prescott could have found an opportunity for the unbeaten CODICIL on her reappearance. She ended last year with a victory in Class 2 company at Newcastle and there should be more to come this season. Vale Of Kent has every chance back on the all-weather after going close at Goodwood while Jim Crowley prefers the chances of Moqarrar to those of Tadleel with the former expected to improve from last month’s pipe-opener. Nothing went right for Godolphin’s Being There at Chester on his return to action but Air Raid won a novice race at Wetherby on his comeback and Luna Eclipse has shown progressive form in lesser company on the all-weather so far this year. Voyager Blue won a maiden at Redcar recently but Nobleman's Nest and Lawn Ranger continue to struggle off their current marks.
