Verdict

SCALES was well backed over a shorter trip at Doncaster earlier this month but could only muster the one pace having been too keen in the early stages. He probably still has a bit of scope and can finally open his account over timber if settling better here. Karmadice was put up 4lb after finishing second at Catterick last month but shouldn't be far away again and Kayf Commander could figure if fully primed following a break. Patavium may be too high in the weights now, however, and Long Distance hasn't progressed as expected. Ballymacduff has also been a little disappointing and Monkey Milan was a little below par at Warwick in January, though could appreciate the return to 2m4f.
