GLOBAL VISION had to be switched in the final stages at Wolverhampton and would have finished closer than fourth with a clear run. First-time headgear may bring further improvement and James Tate’s colt can confirm running with Highly Dancer. K Rex posted a better effort at Chelmsford a fortnight ago and makes his handicap debut while the more exposed Fircombe Hall finished in front of Patsy Fagan when scoring over 6f here earlier and Love Of Zoffany remains 6lb higher than when landing a nursery at Wolverhampton last month.
