Despite sitting some way clear on the official ratings, Lyssio was surprisingly easy to back ahead of his appearance in a recent contest at Newton Abbot though his supporters were never given too many moments of worry on the racecourse. He faces no easy task in giving penalties away all round and ROSIE PROBERT can take full advantage of some sizeable allowances. Nicky Henderson has kept her ticking over nicely during the summer and the former Roger Charlton inmate was last seen at Epsom where she managed to win an all age maiden. She can take this en route to better things. Portofino Wasp is entitled to be better with time, though he cannot be crabbed for the way in which he went about his business at Stratford. Just Archie has often been backed in bumpers and while running with some promise at Plumpton he failed to progress from that effort at Fontwell.
