Prettylittlething was engaged yesterday at Perth and Neil Mulholland also runs CODE OF LAW, who was pushed clear here last month and can defy an 8lb rise. Camaplu would have been placed at worst had he not fallen at the last here in June and has been given time to recover but Auld Sod disappointed again at Worcester on Tuesday and is now blinkered. Cropley may need this after a lengthy absence.
