CHARMANT is dropped in grade on his reappearance. He’s shown some ability and this looks a good opportunity to get off the mark if he’s ready to roll. Teescomponents Max has been getting closer but he’s also creeping up the weights and is now 0-15. Irish raider Ardview Boy would have claims on his best form, as would Hit And Run. Monsieur Murphy is unexposed but is likely to be suited by further than this.
