Rizzardo has yet to win and was pulled up on his only start on heavy ground though he's on a winnable mark judging by his latest run here. What's The Scoop is another maiden and he was beaten in a lesser-grade contest off a lower mark last time. HURRICANE ARCADIO was well supported at Wincanton last month and might have won but for a blunder at the second last. He could have done without a 3lb rise but Tom Cannon takes over from an amateur and he can steer his mount to a first success. Indian Native beat three rivals at Southwell before a poor run under a big weight at Fakenham.
