Richard Johnson has a couple of booked rides earlier in the day and hangs around for Born Naughty. Jamie Snowden's charge is a half-brother to five winners, including at Listed level on the Flat, and the champion jockey's wait may be worthwhile. Celebre D'allen went for £100,000 at the sales despite a last-fence fall on his debut between the flags in Ireland where he probably would have won. LA CAVSA NOSTRA came in for strong support on his debut in a Listed bumper at Cheltenham so is obviously well regarded. He's related to several winners and can gain compensation. Just A Sting is a half-brother to a winning bumper while Evan Williams has three entries and Quigley Court, who is related to a couple of winners, may prove best of them.
