TOVIERE (NAP) was third to the progressive Tales Of The Tweed, who has since won again, in a maiden hurdle at Ascot and improvement is expected now handicapping for the first time. Quarenta also has claims on his second over these hurdles a fortnight ago though he was no match for the winner. Mab Dab is upped in class off a higher mark having won at Plumpton last month but Be My Sea was clear of the rest when placed at Ludlow in March and is preferred to Magic Bullet.
