HONOURABLE GENT wouldn't want any more rain but, on decent ground, can get back to winning ways. Successful twice at the end of 2013, he's reappeared after a long absence in good form and is likely to go up in the weights after his close second to the in-form Scimon Templar at Ayr on Friday. Most Honourable has dropped markedly in the weights since his lone success in 2013 but shown no benefit and Separate Shadows is looking high in the weights on what he's achieved. Bob's Legend has been running poorly but was in better form on good ground around this time a year ago. The remaining trio have plenty to do.
