LODGICIAN was only beaten half-a-length by Shilpa on his comeback run at Ffos Las. The nine-year-old, who won over C&D last August, is only a couple of pounds higher today and should take all the beating in a race that probably isn't as competitive as the numbers suggest. Bedizen is going backwards judged on a woeful effort when odds-on for a Wetherby seller last month while the handicapper has seen fit to raise J'Adhere 4lb for his second at Fontwell. Rampant Ronnie races off the same mark as when second to Brunson at Hereford, however, and shouldn't be far away while it would be no surprise to see My Brother Sylvest in the firing-line, despite a recent absence.
