Verdict
En Meme Temps won on heavy going here in March so is worth a second look but this represents a big drop in class for RETURN FIRE and, despite having a first outing since April, he’ll be helped by Patrick Wadge’s claim. Follow Your Arrow was second off a higher mark here in May but has been beaten three times since while Aazza still has a bit to prove over fences.
