Bell Weir took a fair scalp over track and trip in June and is only 4lb higher. His yard is going well while May's Boy won at Cartmel in July but Super Collider has just lost his way lately and a recent absence isn't going to help Trust Thomas or Hawaii Klass. Paul Moloney looks a very significant jockey booking for PHOENIX RETURNS (NAP) and the recent Kelso third look to have a decent chance of picking up the winning thread again here.
