None of these boost confidence including Manners Please, who hasn’t raced since finishing second at Chelmsford back in December. A chance is taken that CAPTAIN REVELATION can build on a better effort over a mile here last time given he won off an 8lb higher mark last season. Rock Warbler had been thereabouts on the all-weather before a poor run at York while Passing Star won a claimer on the all-weather earlier. Jay Kay has placed a couple of times so far this year and the handicapper has finally relented dropping him 4lb.
