KALGANOV was in good order on turf prior to a below-par display at Ayr and, now returned to the all-weather with cheekpieces refitted, it'd be no surprise to see this 6-y-o deliver off a potentially very handy mark. Madame Plaintiff is now 9 lb below the mark off which she landed a handicap for Gavin Cromwell in Ireland last spring and, having posted her best effort for current connections last time, she is feared most ahead of Greenlightforgo, who opened his account over this C&D last month.
