BEAT THE BAT (1) resumed with a solid third over 2m1 1/2f at Exeter. Rates a leading contender. ROADLESSTRAVELLED (3) returns from a long absence after a G2 pulled up effort last campaign. If ready to go might feature though fitness is the query. SHENGAI ENKI (4) resumes following two months off after a quiet seventh tackling 2m4f at Uttoxeter last campaign. Capable of improvement and worth a look. PEKING OPERA (2) was safely held when resuming in a 1m7 1/2f hurdle at Ascot. Strips fitter and can take a step forward. Impossible to discount.
