Rococoa, Mickey and QUICK LOOK were all placed in lower grade sprints on their latest starts. The latter is the least exposed and may come out best with further progress expected. Gunmetal has failed to threaten off today’s mark since landing a double earlier that included a win over 7f here while Gorokai’s double came on the all-weather at the start of the year. Human Nature ended last season with a victory on the Turf at Lingfield and makes his belated reappearance. He has the form to figure but Saeed Bin Suroor’s yard has recently suffered from an infection so it remains to be seen how he will fare.
