Sheriff Of Nawton was raised only 2lb for beating Swift Cedar here in December but even that proved beyond him back at this venue last time. Prime Exhibit only won a lowly seller at Lingfield and Steel Stockholder is upped in class after scoring over track and trip. Handicap debutante Synaesthesia was sent off a big price on her latest start and ran accordingly so a speculative vote goes to dual winner REGGIE BOND to come good again re-united with his winning partner Robert Tart.
