Though not disgraced at Brighton two runs ago, Miquelon seems to prefer the all-weather. BOBBY ON THE BEAT was well backed in a first-time visor at Chelmsford but again found one too good. He’s due to drop 2lb from next week but his rider claims 3lb today so he has every chance of a first victory. West Side Glory certainly has claims on her second over this trip at Salisbury and is the least exposed but L'Operateur appears out of sorts.
