MAN FROM SEVILLE's run at Nottingham last time was too bad to be true. The much easier ground may have been to blame as he'd bounced off the good to firm going over this track and trip earlier when beating 15 rivals including Spats Colombo, who has won twice since including one over track and trip. Threepence is only a plater but still looks the pick of the remainder.
