BEIDH TINE ANSEO had Aggravation and the disappointing Grand Diamond behind when just failing to hold off the race-fit Weetfromthechaff at Kelso on his reappearance. Lucinda Russell's gelding was rated a decent prospect at this time last year and can finally begin to fulfil his potential. King Fingal won over C&D in January and doesn't look badly treated on his reappearance but Higgy's Boy has changed stables since running at The Festival in March. Golden Future races from 2lb out of the handicap but his second at Wetherby was a very decent effort and he can't be ignored.
