Verdict
Three of these won their penultimate starts but while Certainly Red was brought down early on his reappearance, Premier D'troice and La Cavsa Nostra ran poorly on recent comebacks. But the application of cheekpieces had the desired effect on MIDNIGHT GLANCE (NAP) and he won at Exeter recently to open his account over fences. There should be more to come in the headgear and Alan King’s charge can defy a rise in the weights. Putdecashonthedash scored at Plumpton back in January and has undergone a wind operation since.
