After almost a year on the sidelines, Searching has run a couple of shockers on the Flat recently while Daybreak Boy has shown nothing since a switch of stables. Neverbeen To Paris is also best watched but Faint Hope could go well if forgiven a poor run at Uttoxeter in July and Morraman also has a squeak. Seaborough has only found one too good in his last three at Uttoxeter and Howling Milan was keeping better company last season, though hasn’t raced since March. AN TAILLIUR rattled up a hat-trick in May but has gone up another 13lb. However, he has the most scope of these and can make a winning return.
