Aliandy probably showed the effects of a hard race at Taunton last time but having said that the ground yesterday was terribly holding and that would certainly not have helped; he finished 4th and will have a short rest now.

Gallery Exhibition too hated the ground and hopefully the handicapper will now finally drop him in the weights. Both horses are fine this morning.
