GROW NASA GROW loves quick ground and has struck form with a vengeance gaining his third victory in a year when making all and coming home virtually alone at Sedgefield for which he's been raised 10lb. He can go in again though Filemon was engaged in the 3.05 at Market Rasen yesterday so that result should be monitored. Mahlerdramatic ran poorly on his reappearance here last month but has winning form on good ground in bumpers and over timber.
