Formscan  - THE BALEARIC SUN was set a stiffer task at Sandown on debut and failed to make an impression. However, Ralph Beckett's charge can include a Listed winner among his four winning relatives and could prove a different proposition in a first-time tongue-tie in this lower grade. Zarakova is another likely improver having shown some ability at Wolverhampton on her introduction, while Ad Lib makes most appeal of the newcomers.
