Pak Army has gone from strength-to-strength since a tongue-tie was paired with a set of blinkers. Man Of The Sea will strip fitter for a run at Plumpton and Fanfaron Dino got up close home to edge out TARA ITI here last month. That form has been franked but the runner-up is now a pound better off and could turn the tables. Cornicello was pulled up when Phoenix Risen won at Taunton in April but the latter was beaten off this mark at Newton Abbot subsequently.
