Train Hard has been threatening to get his head in front of late but found one too good again over track and trip last time. Precision Strike ran poorly on Turf either side of scoring at this track when he beat Our Golden Girl. The latter re-opposes on better terms and makes more appeal than Tracks Of My Tears, a shock 50/1 winner here last time and stepping up in distance today. Mystery Drama was well backed to come good at Southwell and duly obliged but though BOLD CITIZEN let supporters down when starting favourite over 2m at Lingfield last time, the latter is taken to make amends back over a more suitable trip.
