The betting at Wolverhampton suggested MUAY THAI had improved for last month’s comeback run and he duly returned a winning favourite. This extra distance should be within his compass and the Hannon charge can go in again. Deep Impression won at Southwell in between moderate efforts elsewhere on the all-weather while Semper Augustus is edging closer and headgear is applied for this. Something Enticing makes her handicap debut in first-time cheekpieces.
