Mark Johnston has a strong hand with three runners though Ryan Moore takes over the reins on PRAXEOLOGY, who shrugged off a penalty in novice company at Salisbury last time and the hat-trick beckons now handicapping. Stable companions Eton College, who won a nursery at Ascot last time, and the novice winner Homespin, are not out of this either. Hard Nut is another on the upgrade making his handicap debut and stablemate Separate drops in class while Owney Madden could also go well. Dylan De Vega’s recent second in a handicap at York was given a boost when the winner Mrs Bouquet scored here on Wednesday and Richard Fahey also runs Teenar, a runner-up on the Knavesmire last time.
