Mulligan's Man is a shadow of his former self and was beaten twice in sellers in July but Iguacu is still running well and should be thereabouts again while Bathwick Man finally got his head back in front at Newton Abbot and Kieron Edgar's claim takes care of the 5lb higher mark. FINDING YOUR FEET had fallen to a lenient mark when bolting up at Fontwell five weeks ago. That will have given his confidence a big boost and he can defy an 8lb higher rating here.
