Regal Diamond did nothing but improve last season but a double penalty will make life tough on his reappearance. There is more to come from April's Ffos Las winner Carningli while Chill Factor also won at the Welsh course in the spring and Gentleman Jon looked useful at Fontwell in March, but then disappointed on his second start. Brother Brian and Chase The Wind should both win races this term while Midnight Thunder, Trickaway and Vazaro Delafayette could be useful recruits from the point-to-point field. Mrs Jordan won very easily at Stratford but another summer will have benefited the nicely-bred MY WIGWAM OR YOURS and he can build on a couple of runs at Ludlow in the spring to get off the mark here.
