Some of these may yet prove better than handicappers. Mark Johnston has assembled a strong team headed by Monoski but he’s not progressed from winning a small race at Pontefract, being worse off at the weights with Hurstwood than when beaten on a return visit to the West Yorkshire track. Homespin beat Born To Destroy, stablemate Praxeology and Hard Nut in a similarly-competitive nursery at Goodwood. Rose Of Kildare has gone up 6lb for winning a fillies’ handicap at Newmarket while Troubador will have to defy a further 7lb rise if he’s to complete the four-timer. Another seeking the four-timer is the unbeaten Oti Ma Boati, having a first run for William Haggas. The latter’s former trainer Richard Fahey has won this three times in the last seven years and saddles POP DANCER. He looks the type to enjoy this fast 6f having won the last twice over 5f. Hard Nut’s stable companion Malvern is 2-2 but this is a big step up in class.
