Plansina scored over track and trip last month with Van Dijk and ENZO behind but the latter reversed running when runner-up in first-time headgear back here last time. John Butler’s charge can go one better now back on a winning mark. Chelmsford winner Fivehundredmiles has been beaten subsequently and steps up in trip along with Josiebond and Grandstand, who won their latest outings at Redcar and this track respectively while Global Style found one too good over a mile at Windsor last time but remains without a win in 21 starts so far.
