Larad may get back to winning ways at the expense of Western Roots, Jidiya and Millenio. The drop to Banded company saw Larad regain his confidence as he picked up a hat-trick of wins late last year, and so it was disappointing to see him beaten easily on his last visit here a week ago. Maybe the rise to a mark of 55 proved his undoing, but in this company surely he will put in a better effort and is taken to bounce back. Western Roots was touched off in a close finish over slightly shorter here nine days ago and is over stone better treated than when with Paul Cole. He should make his presence felt along with Jidiya who caused a bit of a shock when beating Resonate at Lingfield last time. He has taken time to come to hand but may now be one to follow on the all-weather. Ex-German Millenio may be best watched as he might still need a run or two after returning from a seven-month break when down the field at Lingfield just over a fortnight ago. It is not a race to get too heavily involved in, with Larada only a tentative choice.
