MEAN IT was sent off favourite for his return to action over a mile at Windsor but found one too good. The winner had already flown by the time he found top gear and David Simcock's charge is taken to make amends over this longer trip. I'm Super Too will handle the going but today's distance may be a problem for both him and Joshua The First while Titus Bolt may have scored over track and trip last month but he's 7lb higher today and has been beaten since. Arc Light is lightly-raced for his age and looks a threat off his current mark after his close-up fourth over course and distance last time.
