Signposts: Rubensian looks well handicapped after break

David Simcock has a 25 per cent strike-rate (10-40) at Brighton. He sends Rubensian south for the 3.50. The four-year-old returns to action off a 1lb lower mark than his last win.

Johnny Farrelly applies blinkers (3-11, 27 per cent strike-rate) and a tongue-tie for the first time to new recruit Away Down West in the 6.15 at Hexham. It seems significant the horse is being sent on the long trip north with new headgear.
