John Constable slips further down the weights but is clearly not the force of old. First Quest is another who seems to be going backwards but he is back on a winning mark. Sid Hoodie may be coming to hand, though has something to find with Peckinpah on their run together at Kempton. HIGH CHANGE is one of the few jumpers in his yard but he’s been lightly raced and Charlie Hills has been tempted to give him another chance here while good going prevails. Lex Eleven looks the pick of the remainder.
