Reverberation won over a shorter trip at Chelmsford on only his second start for a new yard but is penalised. Footsy placed here in front of both Sociologist and Typical Man still looking to open his account but PYSANKA wasn’t at his best over 1m6f a fortnight ago. An earlier second over course and distance suggests he can win off today’s mark and he’s also preferred to stablemate Black Smoke.
