Outbox overcame inexperience to make a winning start at Ffos Las. There should be more to come but he does have more to do here under a penalty. Forest View will almost certainly take a big step forward from her fourth at Haydock, where she was very green but not beaten far at the finish. LILYPAD was never getting to the front two at Haydock last time but stuck well to her task and that was a big improvement on her first run at Kempton. James Fanshwe’s filly still has time on her side and can make it third-time lucky today with Imperial Court likely to fare better in handicaps. Henry Candy won races with Goscote’s dam Gosbeck and Haafapiece, Canoodle and Milrow are likely to prove the pick of the older horses.
