VICTORIAN BOUNTY scored in heavy ground at Windsor last month having tumbled down the weights. He remains on a winning mark and the C&D winner can go in again. Half A Crown is another recent winner in testing going though a 6lb penalty may prevent a follow-up but Another Citizen has claims with an apprentice's claim helping his cause. Chambles, Steelcut and Restless Bay are all C&D winners with claims and Swendab is back on a winning mark.
