Takingitallin has been thereabouts at Cartmel of late while Black Tulip was placed at Warwick back in March and Richard Johnson is on board once again. Admiral's Sunset is regularly placed over shorter trips and is preferred to Prettylittlething but a couple of these arrive on the back of wins. Absolute Jaffa made all to score at Sedgefield and should be in contention once again but SIMPLY LOVELEH won over course and distance last month having slipped down the weights and there looks more to come over fences from Dan Skelton’s mare.
