PACTOLUS never figured on his debut over track and trip but was sent off joint-favourite and gets a token vote to make amends in a poor maiden. Tax Reform gets a claimer on board today but still has to give plenty of weight to the less exposed What A Dandy. The latter never threatened when third at Lingfield and Deano's Devil was well beaten when occupying the same finishing position at Wolverhampton on her introduction. Avondream may figure stepping up in trip and Jazz Bay could prove best of the remainder.
