Mootasadir won on Polytrack and Tapeta before failing to handle soft ground at Doncaster. TEAM DECISION continues on the upgrade and has only been raised 3lb for completing a double in good style at Windsor. There's more to come and he can prove better than an 87-rated handicapper. Paddy The Chef won a conditions event at Nottingham but was beaten off a lower mark than this on his previous handicap start but wind surgery appeared to work the oracle for Liva as he showed much improved form to land a lower-grade handicap at Epsom. Four On Eight is badly handicapped and hasn't run for almost two years.
