El Picador is upped in distance after scoring at Musselburgh while Baileys Derbyday won over a longer trip at Chelmsford last time. Uncharted travels over from Ireland having placed over today’s distance at Navan and Lord Torranaga is a recent winner over 1m3f at Southwell. Emaraty Hero placed at Doncaster on his reappearance and will be winning again this year though the same comment also applies to HAIZOOM. The latter never figured in a higher grade race here on her comeback but can continue last year’s good progress back at this level.
