Vasari could be a typical Sir Michael Stoute improver but is drawn on the outside so may need luck in-running. Penpal may also have scope for further improvement while Blackcastle Storm arrives in top form. Tommy Rock is given cheekpieces after failing to justify favouritism here 12 days ago and Moosmee’s first run for new connections at Lingfield was not without promise. AL RUFAA refused to settle again at Newmarket last month and now wears a hood - he is much better than that run at HQ suggests.
