MAISON BRILLET was well backed to return to form over 1m4f here last time and duly did so with a defeat of El Libertador. He remains on a decent mark compared to his best and may go in again.

Langham Lily won at Wolverhampton before a disappointing effort at Kempton and it's too soon to write her off.
