Hey Bob returned from a break to finish a close third at Uttoxeter and collateral form appears to give him the beating of The Raven's Return, who debuts for new connections. Grand Enterprise came back to form when a winner here at the start of the month and is only 4lb higher but Phoenix Dawn needed the help of the stewards to get his head back in front at Newton Abbot while White Turf is becoming expensive to follow. MAJOR SNUGFIT has won three times on the Flat and was first past the post at Sedgefield in September only to be disqualified for interference. He races off the same mark today and gets another chance.
