THEONLYWAYISWESSEX arguably made his move too soon back from a four-month break at Warwick where he was overhauled by the eventual winner in the closing stages, the pair pulling well clear of the rest. Alan King's charge is taken to gain compensation here, with Midnight Jewel and chase debutant Man of The Sea feared most in that order of preference.
