MAY HAY scored on the Flat and over hurdles at Southwell but had no answer to Bobs Lady Tamure when strongly fancied to complete a hat-trick at Wetherby. This looks easier and she can return to winning ways. Abundantly looked very well suited by heavy ground when easily landing a novices' event at Taunton in January but couldn't confirm that promise on a return visit last month. Ogaritmo took a crashing fall when on the retreat at Fakenham but had run well for a long way and can get competitive providing she's recovered. Golden Games has a course and distance victory to her credit but is now 13lb higher.
