Lucky Lodge won an amateurs’ race at Wolverhampton last month and Malaysian Boleh picked up a lower grade handicap over 7f at Brighton recently. Both will find this tougher and Monsieur Jimmy has to race off a much higher mark back on the all-weather having gone close at Thirsk recently. Gold Beau was beaten less than a length at Kempton in March while American Hustle has been placed over longer distances before and attempts 6f for the first time. But EXOTIC GUEST (NAP) recorded three of his four wins so far on the old Turf course here and a chance is taken Ruth Carr’s charge proves as effective on this surface now back on a winning mark.
