Scenes to set standard

TAKE a good look at BEHIND THE SCENES (3.10, nap) in the BetMGM Winter Oaks Fillies’ Handicap at Lingfield Park.

- The Scout (Melissa Jones)

James Tate’s runner is a fascinating contender for today’s promoted feature event after the weather wiped out Ascot.

A half-sister to multiple Group Two winner Safety Check, the chestnut filly was set Listed tasks in Ireland and France.

And on a strict form line through Deauville fourth Lakota Sioux, Behind The Scenes should not beat favourite Oh So Grand.

But Simon and Ed Crisford’s trainee is now giving weight away rather than receiving it, 10lb higher than at the start of her winning sequence.

Behind The Scenes needed every yard of a mile for her Wolverhampton gold medal and 10 furlongs is firmly in reach, with all-important further experience gained.
