There was little between Tenzing Norgay and Gameplay when they filled the places at Wolverhampton and the former has since returned a beaten favourite. Bourne Symphony finished ahead of Captain Gerald and Lady President when runner-up in a claimer here but has been raised 7lb for that while Ice Bond is preferred to stabelmate Ryan The Giant after a second at Leicester. NIETZSCHE needs to improve on last week's handicap debut at Nottingham but drops down a grade and gets a speculative vote to open his account.
