Carlovian has done very well since transferred to Mark Walford having completed a double in July and run well from his higher mark subsequently. The veteran Green Howard was having his 68th run and had dropped to his lowest-ever mark when only beaten a length at Ripon and a 1lb rise is unlikely to prevent another big effort. FLEETFOOT JACK took advantage of soft ground when easily landing a minor handicap over the course and distance last month and, though 6lb higher, can prove better than a 66-rated handicapper and complete a double. After an encouraging return from a long absence on good to soft at Lingfield in July, Retribution started a short-priced favourite at Yarmouth on much faster going but failed to fire after leading for much of the way.
