PUTTINGONTHESTYLE has become expensive to follow though he's done little wrong on his last two starts here and at Goodwood and should lose his maiden tag provided he handles the conditions. Richard Hannon also saddles Numeral, who hasn't been seen since a couple of promising efforts last May and could just need the run. Mrs Dee Bee showed enough promise on her debut at Salisbury in October to suggest she can win races in her second campaign while Escape To Glory was in the firing line for a long way on his debut at Lingfield and led for a long way before being swamped by the odds-on Firebeam on soft ground there on Saturday. Ever The Optimist really caught the eye with a very promising debut at Lingfield in January though the long absence is a bit of a concern.
