Black Key was winning at the Galway Festival a year ago. He’s not managed to add to that victory since joining Donald McCain but is the stable’s first string today, ahead of Ormesher, with Brian Hughes doing the steering. Candy Burg has a bit to prove now but the return to a longer trip may suit Tempuran. ALDRIN won over an extended 2m2f at Market Rasen last year and was returning from a break when a fair third at Worcester last month. He’ll strip fitter here and can get back on track.
