PASSING PLEASURE (1) made a powerful return scoring by 6L a 2m4f hurdling event at Musselburgh on stable debut. Fitter looking very tough to beat. DEFENCE WITNESS (4) is a strong fresh performer resuming after six months. Kicked off with a chase win contesting 2m5f at Cartmel. Capable of a top-three finish. MR MAHLER (6) remains a maiden. Did show ability when 2L second in a chase attempting 2m5 1/2f at Market Rasen. Among the hopes despite struggling to break through. BATAILLON (2) was sixth in a 3m race at Ffos Las last time after a solid second tackling the same trip two runs back. Sure to be thereabouts.
