Fair And Square and Benzema were both narrowly beaten in their respective divisions at Wolverhampton three weeks ago. The former has subsequently gone close again over track and trip and gets a change of headgear while the latter finished in front of Accelerando and Pure Charmer at Wolverhampton. But NORDIC GLORY has returned to the same mark as when successful in Class 4 company over course and distance last autumn and gets the vote dropping down a couple of grades for this.
