RUGBY UNION did well under the circumstances having had his run blocked more than once when scoring over C&D 23 days ago and a 3 lb rise for that breakthrough success ought to see him very competitive again. Balmoral Boy arrives on the back of a good third at Redcar and is feared up in trip, with Token Love another fancied to be in the shake-up.
