Arij came up short once again when second at Chelmsford while Precision Storm just failed at Kempton having won off a lower mark here earlier. Rhubarb Bikini and Asdaa try their luck over a longer trip while Toronto has slid down the weights and Aim For The Stars returns to action having disappointed at Chelmsford on her handicap debut back in November. But novice winner MOUNT MAYON makes his handicap bow and with improvement expected over this extra distance, Ivan Furtado’s charge could go close at a decent price.
