Bad Attitude scored over track and trip before finishing last of 12 on the Turf and can do better back on this surface. The latter comment also applies to Dyagilev while Bayston Hill returned to winning ways over course and distance a fortnight ago and remains on a winning mark despite a 4lb rise but FAIR MAN is preferred. The latter faced tougher opposition at Lingfield when third on his handicap debut and the form looks solid enough with the winner going in again subsequently. Poetica and Bogeyman have yet to threaten but can improve now handicapping.
