SAM'S HOPE (1) won at Kempton (7f) in March. Since joined a stable capable of getting the best out of him. Chance. MY MATE MIKE (7) finished well beaten on turf past two outings and is down to his winning mark. Drop in trip and revisiting synthetics could see him in a better light. BIG BARD (6) is arguably more effective on turf. Made a pleasing seasonal return and cannot be taken lightly. The handicapper might have caught up with THOUGHTFUL GIFT (2) after a blistering start to the year. Another good run is possible.
