THE DARLING BOY returned to winning ways over today's trip at Huntingdon last time. Michael Heard's allowance negates a 5lb rise and David Pipe's charge should be in the firing-line once again. Singlefarmpayment was something of a disappointment at Warwick last time when starting joint-favourite and Sonny The One was still well beaten when third at Taunton though that was his first start since November. But Tea Time Fred posted his best effort to date when going close at Wincanton and looks a danger along with Lingfield winner Join The Navy, set a stiff task at Fontwell last week but likely to fare better in this.
