Verdict
Lafontaine won at Kempton before beaten off today’s mark last month while Beat The Breeze showed major improvement when runner-up on his handicap debut at Wolverhampton. But SURRAJAH returned from a short break in first-time headgear and landed a gamble at Chelmsford. Further progress looks likely and he’s taken to confirm running with second-placed Cesifire. Urtzi is another with scope while Queen of Clubs and Dark Phoenix may do better now handicapping for the first time.
