Official Style has failed to live up to the promise he showed last season, due mainly to his inability to settle in his races. He drops back in distance tomorrow in the 4.00 at Haydock where a faster pace may help him. Munsarim was well supported on his seasonal reappearance at Newmarket but didn’t get a clear run in the race. He might be worth another chance in the 4.30.
Dafeef was disappointing in a listed race last time out but had not done much wrong before that. He seeks to get back onto the winning trail in the 7.35 at Newbury. Higgy’s Ragazzo has been virtually unridable at times but there is some ability there somewhere. Ryan Moore rides him for the first time in the 9.10 and just might get the best out of him.
Cross Key won well on her handicap debut at Hamilton. She clearly handles fast ground and she may also benefit from the longer trip in the Redcar 9.20 tomorrow.
My only selection at Yarmouth is the Luca Cumani trained Mistoffelees.
