Yet another small field. MOULIN BOOJ’s win on Friday came on Tapeta and he is penalised. However, George Scott’s three-year-old was second on good to soft at Yarmouth last month and is improving. Rhubarb slips further down the weights but she has never won on going this soft. Exquisitely has changed stables since last seen in April and French import Reve De Magritte is having a first run for Ed de Giles, though should handle conditions.
