Bathos is up a further 7lb after completing a hat-trick with a victory at Thirsk while Theydon Grey is preferred to another recent maiden winner in Senza Una Donna on his convincing win at Chelmsford. Both Southdown Lad and War Department made winning starts over 6f but have disappointed since but Ronnie Baird may improve now handicapping for the first time along with EXECUTOR. The latter ran out a ready winner at Bath earlier this month and there looks plenty more to come form Roger Charlton's charge on that evidence.
