Bryan Smart has always enjoyed a silky touch with sprinters and ICHIMOKU can prove the point by supplementing a decisive success in a Newcastle maiden over the minimum trip and defy a 6lb penalty. Although well beaten when tackling 6f on very fast ground at Redcar on Tuesday, his turf form is far superior to uninspiring all-weather efforts and can get back on the winning trail. Auntie Mildred and Salvatore Fury were one and two in a Beverley seller recently, since when the latter has delivered a much better effort when a close-up Carlisle fourth in handicap grade. He rates a major threat if reproducing that level here.
