Just when it appeared the handicapper had got the better of Global Tour, Fergal O'Brien's gelding came bouncing back to claim a fourth success in the last five starts. Now 21lb higher than when his winning run began, he goes well for Kendrick and this is not the toughest of contests. Desiremoi D'Authie has a first start since wind surgery and remains a gelding of interest despite retaining maiden status over timber but the form of the victory of NATIVE FIGHTER over Jimmy Rabbitte in a desperate finish here this month was franked when the runner-up landed a competitive handicap at Ffos Las on Thursday. The form reads well and the gelding can follow up.
