AUDIENCE escapes a penalty for his Group 1 and 2 wins last season and should take a bit of stopping if a return to 7f sees him recapture his best form. Alyanaabi was right back on song to win a course listed race on his reappearance and is feared most ahead of the classy Kinross, who has a 5 lb penalty for his Group 2 win last autumn.
