Off the track since July, ANDRONICUS BEAU was gelded and had a wind operation before returning to action at Kempton earlier this month. He beat a previous dual winner on that occasion with the rest nowhere and there should be more to come from Tom Dacombe’s rejuvenated charge. A couple of these bid for hat-tricks but Rohaan has been raised 12lb as he drops back down in distance and Tilaawah makes more appeal having made a winning start for new connections at Wolverhampton. Enduring struggled in a sales race at Newmarket when last in action and is 6lb higher than an earlier success at Kempton.
