Shoot To Kill and Good Earth are rather exposed compared to their rivals and we are prepared to give another chance to VILLAIN’S VOICE. Third at Yarmouth last summer, he had excuses on his reappearance at Chelmsford. Forgetful Agent has a decent pedigree and there was promise in two runs last year, though he might need this. Clive Cox’ filly Tuscan Oasis is related to several winners and she is definitely worth a market check on debut.
