FormscanBy Gary Carson - VICEREGENT has been running up against some decent types in maidens and may be able to pick up a race off his current mark in handicap company. Charles Byrnes' charge stayed on into second behind the exciting Marine Nationale on his penultimate outing before finishing third to another decent sort in Kiki Badger at Limerick 11 days later. Going up in trip now could bring a bit of improvement from the Nathaniel gelding. Explosive Boy ran a big race over in Cheltenham last month and he could be a danger here off a nice low weight. Boothen Boy was running a nice race, before falling, in Grade 3 company when last seen but that was back in November 2021 so he may be best watched on his return.
