Not much to go on here but FOR PEDRO made progress with each run last summer and could be good enough to defy a long absence. Alamein will probably start favourite though he's been well beaten in two runs on soft ground after a promising start on good going in April. Agentleman was in touch for a long way on heavy ground here in January and better going could bring about some improvement while the four-year-old Can't Be Done could prove best of the newcomers.
