VILLA TREVILLE (2) was far too good when resuming last start when she scored by 4.5 lengths over 5f at Tamworth. GRAND LARCENY (6) returned from a lay-off two-and-a-half weeks ago when he was in contention on the turn before being beaten 5 lengths into sixth over 5f at Sandown-Hillside. Finds a suitable race and can find winning form. CURL CURL (5) recorded a strong maiden win over 4½f at this track last time, getting there by 2.75 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Shaping up nicely and he should be in the finish again. DRUMS OF WAR (4) faded right out of it last time over 6f at Canterbury after showing good early speed and leading for much of the way, eventually finishing 11th. Solid top-three prospects.
