Heavy going would not have suited March Is On at Ffos Las last month and it would be no surprise to see him bounce back here, though he has become hard to place. RARE CLOUDS is having a first start in more than 12 months and has switched stables and had wind surgery since last seen. However, he can race off the same mark as when second at Sedgefield on his last appearance so should figure if ready. Seymour Sox also has a squeak, along with Jayaaah, but it’s harder to make a case for the others.
