The second division of this maiden probably has a bit more quality than the first. Flat winner Surrey Blaze has placed twice over timber already and is likely to be thereabouts again. Twasn't The Plan has been making the frame in bumpers but only ran on Tuesday at Worcester. Carry On has won a bumper and has had wind surgery since last seen while Ray's The Money, second at Uttoxeter last summer, could figure if fully wound-up. Considering he’d lost his way on the Flat, PRANCING OSCAR made a promising start over timber at Stratford behind a couple of previous winners. On the evidence, jumping might be his game.
