POINT OF WOODS found only Gracious John too good in a Class 2 event at Haydock and should go close if producing a similar effort on his all-weather debut. Nottingham maiden winner Comedy Night also drops in class while Bochart has a chance dropped 3lb in the weights after placing again at Lingfield. Lady Nayef is penalised for winning a maiden race at Chelmsford and while Sign of The Kodiac beat Dream Dreamer at the same track in August he has been well beaten in much better company subsequently.
