REVENGE drops back in trip having gone close over 7f in a handicap at Kempton last week and Tim Easterby’s colt may prove good enough. Geesala Brave was runner-up over 6f in a maiden race at Carlisle and should go well but Armed Response has struggled since winning in maiden company at Hamilton. Sosian’s earlier placed efforts came over the minimum trip and Gangland has had plenty of chances but Duke Of Freedom is getting steadily closer.
