Tommy's Oscar bolted up at Haydock with the second subsequent placing in a Listed handicap at Sandown. But he was beaten by TAKEIT EASY earlier at Wetherby and is now 7lb worse off with the winner, who chased home an improver next time at Huntingdon. Sonigino finished third on his UK debut and is probably on a fair mark in his first run in a handicap but former stablemate Rockadenn needs further. Geromino is in sparkling form, however, and it would be no surprise to see Lucky One run well after a lay-off.
