The Ralph yard appear to have prepared a few for the summer campaign, including Damut I'm Out, who heads the weights after a convincing Bangor success three days ago. He's presumably spot-on at present but FOR JIM Is preferred. The Candlish gelding has landed his last two chases over 3m on good ground, is on the upgrade and impressed when accounting for the in-form Prince Dundee the last day. The only course and distance winner in the field, he goes well for Sean Quinlan. Lucinda Russell clearly wanted to get cracking with Miss Batten over fences and she's an interesting recruit to the larger obstacles, whilst John Daniell and Kalaskadesemilley are consistent sorts with place claims.
