GET BACK GET BACK looked sure to win when cruising to the front here a week ago but he got out-battled in the closing stages. If Sean Bowen can get him to settle better today, compensation should be on the cards. The Pipe first string Story Of Friends disappointed on his final start last season but had looked a nice prospect beforehand. Twin Star is certainly capable of picking up a handicap based on his third at Newton Abbot and the distance and going are ideal for Chef De Troupe and Dream Machine but John Constable is a shadow of his former self and more is need from both Torolight and Reverend Jacobs.
