Handicap debutant Media Storm has not been harshly assessed, and is respected for David Simcock, while Mascat's latest effort was franked when Arthurian Fable won at Sandown on Thursday, but a chance is taken that SANDRET will improve again stepping up in trip having improved all the time as his stamina has gradually been drawn out in the past year. He needed the run on his return, and is an interesting raider from Ben Haslam's yard.
