The penny didn’t drop with LAND OF OZ (NAP) until the home straight over 1m6f at Yarmouth last time at which point he passed most of the field to win a shade cosily. He’s just the type of progressive stayer his yard excels with and this longer trip will suit Sir Mark Prescott’s colt. Forewarning went close over 2m2f at Pontefract on his reappearance and can figure again on his second outing after wind surgery while Hugoigo found only one too good over track and trip a week ago and is preferred to Lord Lamington, who finished a long way behind the winner when second at Catterick. There was little between third-placed Buyer Beware and Shine Baby Shine at York earlier though both have failed to figure subsequently.
