ODDYSEY won at Redcar on her return to action and is taken to defy a 6lb rise as this looks no tougher. However, it is more competitive than the races Goldstorm has been winning on the Polytrack and the latter will have to find further progress to land her hat-trick. Modern Romance scored at Roscommon for Dermot Weld and new trainer Marco Botti will no doubt find a race for her before long. However, the remainder are harder to fancy with the likes of Lisiere, Westwiththenight and Savanna Days ending last season looking high enough in the weights.
