The executive will be pleased to have attracted four previous winners and much will depend on the rates of improvement of these promising juveniles. Rich Glory looked to score with something in hand when stepping up markedly on his debut run and is clearly going the right way. Ganesha was far from disgraced when eighth of 23 in the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot and should find this easier, whilst Jungle Mate was green on his Hamilton debut but still good enough to score with a late thrust. That's For Sure and Action Plan provide Karl Burke with a double chance and both are expected to come on for their debuts but BITS AND BOBS impressed on his Leicester debut and was arguably unlucky not to follow up at Chester. He can gain recompense returned to a more conventional track.
