TOTNES showed much-improved form after 5 months off when comfortably landing a C&D novice event 25 days ago and with the prospect of more to come now handicapping, she gets the nod to follow up. Seagrave Fox and Rossmore Nation similarly arrive in good order and are feared, whilst Pearl Eye is another worth a look on his return.
