Ofcourseiwill may appreciate a return to the track on which he’s recorded his only victory under Rules so far. A few of Kim Bailey’s runners this year have need the run but Wandrin Star has claims on seconds at Kempton and Uttoxeter in the spring. I'm Always Trying won over hurdles in June and Masterofdeception has been lightly raced for his age. REDEMPTION SONG might offer a bit of value as Kevin Frost places his charges well and the mare appeared to take to fences at Uttoxeter when not unduly punished.
