Lord Bryan hinted at a return to form at Kempton last month but ROQUE IT is back on a winning mark and a change of scenery could help the former Nicholls inmate rediscover past glories. The step back up in trip should suit Wetanwindy and Go On Chez is still only six despite having run nine times over fences. Galop Du Bosc won a three-runner race back under Rules at Chepstow but failed to cope with a 7lb rise at Ludlow last week.
