SEND UP is progressing well and the hat-trick beckons for Sir Mark Prescott’s charge on the back of wins at Brighton and then Chelmsford last time. Berlusca was still beaten six lengths when second over 1m2f on his latest start but Stepney remains unexposed and won her maiden over track and trip earlier. Royal Headley is another lightly-raced type and may improve past the likes of Mambo Dancer and Almutamarred.
