Sheila's Buddy is the only one with any form in the book and may well be good enough to prevail. He'll certainly find this a whole lot easier than the nursery he contested at the Newmarket July meeting and previous runner-up efforts rate as acceptable form here. However, it's reasonable to expect certain rivals to improve considerably over this long trip for juveniles and FUGITIVE MOTEL is taken to have his measure. A rare ride for Tom Queally for the Hannon team, the colt has shown progressive form over three outings and looks ready for this demanding test. Piers Gaveston showed promise on his Salisbury debut and looks of interest whilst Tingo In The Tale and Welsh Nayber should come on for debut efforts.
