Topology was returning from a lay-off when runner-up over a mile at Chelmsford but Posh Bounty failed to cope under a penalty last time having won at Ffos Las. EVENING ATTIRE won over 6f on his latest start having been beaten only a nose over today’s trip at Newmarket earlier. He should be in the mix once again and is preferred to My Dad Syd, thereabouts in lower grade handicaps last month. Ballyer Rallyer is another up in class but Short Work found only one too good in this grade at Epsom last time when ahead of Baltic Brave and could figure.
