CONTRAST. who won here off a mark of 91 in February last year, had dropped to 59 when he won at Yarmouth then completed a double on this track from 7lb higher. He's up another 3lb but a hat-trick looks on the cards. The three-year-old Canasta had been placed twice on the all-weather before scoring at Wolverhampton so a 6lb rise shouldn't prevent another big effort. Hindaam, from the same age group, was making her handicap debut stayed on strongly to score over a mile at Chelmsford so the longer trip shouldn't pose a problem while The Game Is On is probably better than he showed at Ffos Las as he looked one to follow when scoring at Bath earlier. Dreamboat Dave gained his first success with a comfortable victory at Chelmsford and there looks more to come.
