DECADENT TIMES made a fair start in a Wolverhampton maiden that has worked out well before giving supporters of the odds-on Stormy Clouds a fright at Lingfield. He'll be difficult to beat though Jollydee caught the eye with a fine run in the Brocklesby where she didn't get going until too late and the experience will have done her the world of good. With his yard in good form, Orewa, a son of the Australian sire Helmet out of a Group 3 winner, is one to note but Melesina's dam was a winning stayer and hurdler so she should get further in time, a remark that also applies to Our Charlie Brown.
