FRANCISCO found things a bit hectic dropped back to 5f at Windsor for his handicap debut. But today's trip should not be a problem given he had earlier scored over 7f at Lingfield and the Hannon colt can come out best. Subversive showed signs of a resurgence when second at Ripon last week and can figure but Sydney Ruffdiamond looks his yard's second choice behind the selection though he finished ahead of Flashy Diva at Windsor last time. Honcho and Upstaging continue to struggle off their current marks.
