Mother Jones and Moral Issue finished third and fourth at Redcar last month and, though both can go well in this moderate maiden, they have had plenty of chances. William Haggas runs the once-raced Pearl Storm, who should at least have improved for his debut at Lingfield last June, and the newcomer Beechcraft Baron, who wouldn't need to be a world-beater to make a winning start. But, in a race that shouldn't take much winning, a chance is taken on ALIVE AND KICKING who ran well for a long way on his debut in a strong Pontefract maiden last month and will have benefited greatly for the experience.
