      Verdict

      BOBBY KENNEDY returned to action with a second at Bath and fast ground is not a problem for him. Marbuzet also won on a fast surface at Ripon last autumn and is only 2lb higher while Blazer Two scored over track and trip in July and is back on the same mark. Ciao Adios has done her winning over shorter trips so far and Owens Lad beat Sicario at Southwell before the latter landed a double on the all-weather.
