Mr Satco has claims in this eased in grade with Richard Johnson doing the steering. Little Windmill bolted up over hurdles at Worcester 11 days ago and has won off a higher mark over fences, though his jumping has lacked conviction lately. MASSINI’S LADY made the expected improvement for the switch to Dan Skelton when scoring at Stratford last week. She had to be ridden to get to the front but was idling up the home straight so there is every chance she’ll be good enough to defy her penalty. Findusatgorcombe was second over track and trip after winning at Fontwell and his stamina will stand him in good stead again.
