AFTER EIGHT looked unlucky not to win at Lingfield in March but he could be able to gain compensation here. The Andrew Balding-trained colt ran on late to finish third last time having been denied a clear run over 1f out, so he can make his second start in a handicap a winning one. Cliffs of Fury has been going the right way and is feared most, while Victory could resume his progress upped further in trip.
