GIFT OF RAAJ has come down a long way in the weights and duly capitalised when shedding the maiden tag at Redcar 3 weeks ago, suddenly well clear late on. A 5 lb rise looks fair and he can go well again tackling this longer trip. Wynford is enjoying a very good spell and is a big danger though, ahead of Tomorrow's Angel.
