Sir Michael Stoute has an excellent strike rate here though he seldom sends a two-year-old. CROQUEMBOUCHE made a promising debut when runner-up at Yarmouth and the stiff finish at this track will suit. He'll take the beating and is likely to start at odds-on. Bitaphon has shown a bit more than Forster Street but a newcomer is likely to present a bigger threat and the best of those could be Ghalaa. She's related to a couple of winners and is worth noting along with Up Ten Down Two, a half-brother to four-time Polytrack winner Doncosaque.
