ONESMOOTHOPERATOR came up short carrying a penalty in novice company here having earlier last time won over course and distance on debut but Joanna Mason takes 3lb off his back now handicapping and he’s preferred to Jebel Dukhan. The latter has placed in maidens the last twice while Aradous only won a maiden over a mile at Southwell back in January. Reclaim Victory has slipped down the weights and looks best of the rest if rediscovering her form.
