HUMUNGOSAUR failed to last home over a longer trip at Pontefract recently, but he'd gone close to landing a Listed race over a mile at Deauville previously. Paul Cole's colt can get off the mark here at the chief expense of Sholaan. The latter has improved with every run culminating in a decent second at Newcastle last month and he should have the beating of Breaking The Bank, who had Jupiter Storm behind when fifth at Newbury. Inffiraaj and Persidha have a bit to find, but newcomer Henry Clay cost 115,000gns and should be noted.
