Formscan - Beverley regular Dr Rio retains plenty of enthusiasm and recorded his sixth win on the Westwood over 1m4f last month. The drop in trip isn't as much of a concern as the 4lb higher mark, while the handicapper isn't showing any leniency with the honest Sonic Pioneer either. The assessor may have had to take a bit of a guess with INTO COMBAT, who has shown only a modicum of ability in maiden/novice company but was a 500,000gns yearling. He sold for a lot less than that this summer, but Sir Mark Prescott has now had a couple of races to work him out and an initial figure of 67 is attractive.
