This has an open look about it but Gennady was very disappointing on his first run for new connections here at the start of the month. McGarry appears to be going backwards but Laskadine and Present From Dubai are both worth a second look in this grade while Bobndave is consistent if a little one paced. Fazayt runs in his first handicap and tries a new trip but we are prepared to forgive HALF BOLLY his run at Kelso as he was hating the heavy ground. The four-year-old won at Market Rasen in the autumn and was up against above-average juveniles when fifth in a Listed race here subsequently.
