Let Her Loose returned to winning ways over 1m3f here a fortnight ago with previous winner Maharashtra back in third. She can confirm running and is also preferred to El Jad, who was still well beaten when runner-up at Newcastle recently. But SCARBOROUGH CASTLE (NAP) showed good progress at the end of last year when scoring three times on the Tapeta and with David Simcock’s yard in good form and an apprentice taking 3lb off his back, he gets the vote. Will He Dance ran well classified company here last time but this is much tougher.
