Mark Johnston’s debutant La Casa Tarifa has a host of entries and is respected but Karl Burke has a decent record with his two year olds at this course and MEDICI BANCHIERE (NAP) looks the one to beat. He took a while to get the hang of things at York on debut and hung left but was only bettered close home and that experience should set him straight for this much easier contest. Major Jumbo performed with credit from a poor draw at Beverley first time out and looks the likeliest challenger.
