Kybosh won a lowly Class 7 contest over track and trip a fortnight ago but DYAGILEV (NAP) was successful in a tougher contest than this over 1m2f at Chelmsford last time. Simon Pearce’s charge is 5lb higher today but returned a clear winner and had earlier finished in front of Rail Dancer here. The latter has subsequently placed back at the track and can figure again while Lingfield regular Music Major is back on a winning mark and posted a better effort last time. Lauberhorn Rocket scored over 1m4f here back in August and returns from a lay-off 5lb higher.
