Naturally High won easily in a lower grade at Lingfield but CITY DERBY made a very pleasing return to action in a Class 3 at Cheltenham and should have more to offer - he holds Vocal Duke on that run. Kamaxos was clear of the rest when chasing home a prolific winner at Huntingdon and Colden's Dream was still travelling when falling at Leicester. Happy And Fine is consistent and may prove the pick of the remainder.
