NINE TALES didn't need to improve from his debut effort to get off the mark on reappearance at Haydock last week, still seeming rough around the edges but just doing enough to hold on. He's bred to be smart so gets the vote to double his tally here with improvement on the cards. Micks Dream heads the dangers if he can reproduce his debut second over C&D, ahead of Bluebird Day.
