There’s every possibility Whatcouldhavebeen turns out to be extremely well treated on his return to the Flat but there was a lot to like about the way SCEPTRED ISLE (best price 7-1) won at Tipperary last time out and at the prices, the seven-year-old mare rates a strong each-way alternative. 

Promising on her first start for new connections a Navan a month ago, the daughter of Cityscape was up against a similar field at the Limerick Junction circuit just over a week later and this time she made no mistake, coming from a long way off the pace to score with any amount in hand. 

On the evidence of that smooth performance, it makes you wonder why it’s taken so long for her to win a race but now she seemingly has found her groove, she looks worth keeping on side for the foreseeable future.

Things didn’t quite work out for ARAMRAM (best price 15-2) in a strong-looking Class 2 novice event at Doncaster last time out but dropping back in trip might turn out to be more beneficial for Richard Hannon’s colt and he can go a long way to prove that his eye-catching victory at Nottingham previously was no fluke on handicap debut. 

Strongly fancied to make a winning start to his season post wind surgery, the son of Blue Point proved an instant hit with an all-the-way display and the time figure he posted at Nottingham suggested he could be quite a useful prospect in the making. 

Ridden with more restraint on Town Moor last time out, it was noticeable how keen he was in the early stages of a steady gallop and, consequently, his finishing effort wasn’t as potent as several others at the business end. 

Back to six furlongs here tonight, one would anticipate Sam Hitchcock will be given license to send his mount forward from his outside draw to get over towards the nearside rail and providing the first part of the operation is executed, there’s a reasonable chance he can maintain his position all the way to the line.
