SMADYNIUM made a very pleasing racecourse debut here in January and was made odds-on to go one better on his next start at Southwell but was unsuited by the surface. He can prove that to be all wrong by returning to form here and the 15lb he receives from Tornado In Milan will help. The latter was a long odds-on chance to beat three rivals at Ffos Las but had to struggle in the end to get the better of Benefit Of Youth. Stagecoach Jasper made a decent start here in December but pulled much too hard at Newcastle and was well beaten so it could be Gonow who proves the main threat as he was going on very strongly at the finish behind Bhakti here a fortnight ago.
