Verdict
A few of these are looking to make amends for recent disappointments. Langavat blotted his copybook when swerving and unseating his rider at Goodwood last time and Innocently never got involved at York having won on his debut at Redcar last month. Musselburgh winner Suzi's Connoisseur came up short at the same track last time in similar company to this while Zalzilah faded badly in Listed company at Epsom having dotted up in a maiden over track and trip before that. Nevada Blue will need a big improvement on his third at Catterick but it's worth keeping an eye on the betting regarding the 135,000 euros colt My Catch. SUPPLICANT hasn't had the chance to let anyone down yet as he returns to the track having made all over course and distance on his debut to score by a cosy couple of lengths. Richard Fahey's half-brother to Penitent gets the vote to continue winning ways in this.
