Surf And Turf won his last two starts in the spring but, like Tin Pot Man, returns from a lengthy break. Dancewiththedevil has an even longer absence to overcome but Salford Rose should be all the better for last month's run at Stratford and Rampant Ronnie is usually thereabouts. TARA WARRIOR was second off this mark at Stratford last week and, as that was his first start since October, Tim Vaughan's five-year-old can go one better here with a visor likely to bring about further improvement.
