NOT A BAD OUL DAY was one of the success of last season and though he was well held on his reappearance, there's every chance that run was going to be needed. As such, it appears folly to discount him having dropped below his last winning mark. The Phantom Punch improved to win a maiden on the AW when dropped to this trip last time and could be a big threat if taking to the turf now sent handicapping. Surrounding should run his race while Casimiro is likely to improve on what he did on debut for Ger Lyons. Settle For Bay may struggle to continue his winning sequence from this rating back on turf.
