Broadway Joe placed yet again on his return to action and drops back down a grade but CAPTAIN QUINT made a winning debut over fences when scoring at Hexham. Rose Dobbin’s charge had the re-opposing Twoshotsoftequila back in fourth and there should be more to come over this longer trip. There was little between Well Above Par and Uptown Harry at Carlisle back in February while Baron De Midleton has slid down the weights if rediscovering his best.
