Tom Scudamore J David Pipe, Wellington T B Mr Jeoffray Pagliaroli W & S Recycling S TIMEFORM VIEW Just the one win for this yard upon his transfer from France last year. Bit better when second in thin C&D contest 10 days ago and 3lb drop in the weights will help. First time Tom Scudamore has ridden him. TFRHHHHI BHA117

Luca Morgan (3) J O Sophie Pauling & Les de la Haye Ben Pauling, Naunton T B David O’Sullivan Jeremy Houghton - Houghtonart, Fitzdares Club S TIMEFORM VIEW Not straightforward but he’s thriving this summer, making it 3 wins from his last 4 starts under this rider in Worcester handicap 6 weeks ago, digging deep. Could remain ahead of his mark for a little longer. TFRHHHHH BHA115

PLAY SMARTER The thriving ON SPRINGS has a lazy style of racing that could help keep him ahead of the handicapper for a while yet and he’s taken to notch up a fourth win in 5 starts over fences this summer. El Paso Wood looks the danger.
