Revolutionary Man is having his first start since May last year and has changed stables but FIGHTING TEMERAIRE arrives in fine form having scored here and at Newmarket before finding Class 4 company just too hot on the latter track. Zoraya had been running well so it was a surprise to find her in a Leicester seller which she won in a canter. She's been snapped up by Pam Sly and should go well while The Groove won a Wolverhampton claimer two runs ago and is well handicapped at his best.
