Blame The Game landed a novices' race here in November and bounced back with a comfortable victory at Fontwell. He's 10lb higher but has only had five starts and there's more to come. MORODER is also progressing nicely judged on his victory at Fakenham where he looked to have a bit in hand. A 6lb rise doesn't look excessive and he can complete a double. Deebaj has managed to win four times in 27 starts over timber though he's a plater at best but the moderate Bailarico has been brilliantly placed to win nine times including a jumpers' bumper at Lingfield last month.
