FENDALE (NAP) returned to action with a cosy course and distance success. He can effectively race off a lower mark with an apprentice’s allowance taken into account and Bryan Smart’s charge has the beating of Primo's Comet and Foxy Forever on latest running. The former is preferred to stablemate Tommy G and Archimedes but Justice Lady was beaten only a neck over track and trip in October and looks a threat on her reappearance.
