Teaser won a Leicester seller over 1m2f earlier this month and has moved to David Pipe. This is not a difficult start over hurdles and he is much respected. Don't Cry About It was placed up to a mile on the Flat but, like Johni Boxit, his stamina will have to be taken on trust. CHEEKY RASCAL was 0-18 on the level but rated 75 at one time and stayed 1m4f and further. Richard Hannon has passed him on to Oliver Sherwood and his new trainer looks to have found a good opportunity.
