ROAR was beaten five lengths by the long odds-on Hakeem at Nottingham where the 6f on fast ground looked too short. His trainer gets plenty of winners here and the son of Pour Moi can make his experience count. Ann Duffield does well with her two-year-olds here and has a pair of fillies entered. Both Mayleen and Miss Bates are nicely-bred types related to plenty of winners. Mark Johnston is the leading trainer on the track and Bear Valley, a brother to a winning French miler and half-brother to other winners, is certain to attract attention as is Balance Sheet, who cost 52,000gns and is a half-brother to five winners.
