HIERARCH was returning from a five-month absence when finishing fourth at Yarmouth last month. With that run under his belt and an apprentice taking 3lb off his back, he can reverse latest running with King Columbo and gets a tentative vote. Dangers abound not least Olney Lass, who scored over 7f here in July and Indian Violet, who was runner-up over C&D in the same month with Annes Rocket not far behind in third. Derby Desire has been in better form of late and is not easily dismissed.
