BASTOGNE followed a promising debut at Windsor with a victory over 6f at Leicester for which he's penalised. The extra is certain to suit but Subjective Value faded over Beverley's stiff extended 7f. Torbain Castle has shown only moderate form while Vaccine finished last on last month's debut here. The Cookstown Cafu could provide the main threat as he's a 70,000gns son of Invincible Spirit out of a mare who has produced eight winners from her ten offspring including Group 3 and Listed winners.
