The Gosden's should have few problems taking this with the expensive Frankel colt RESTITUTION likely to start paying off some of his purchase price. He looked very green on his debut at Newcastle in December and should have the beating of stable companion Ballantruan, who never really got going at Leicester. Franco Grasso, another son of Frankel, cost a massive 400,000gns but was beaten a long way into last place on his debut at Newmarket twelve days ago. Divine Balance was a 66/1 chance when well beaten at Southwell though was reported to have lost a shoe.

Restitution (FR) 9-4 (9-5) Midfield, headway to track leaders on outside over 2f out, kept on inside final furlong to take third, no match for front pair, 3rd of 8, 3 1/2l behind Surefire (9-5) at Newcastle 1m stks (5) pol in Dec.
