BACK ON THE TRAIL opened his account at Wolverhampton last month and Rae Guest's charge can go in again with further progress likely. A Ladies Man may finish closer dropped in class today and makes more appeal than Carina Palace, who was engaged to run here yesterday. Fiducia has a shout with an apprentice taking 5lb off her back and Claude Greenwood finished a length ahead of Princess Cammie over 6f at Wolverhampton last time. Bubbly Bailey failed to beat a rival at Catterick last week but prefers this surface.
