Only seven, Downloadtheapp came good last summer and rattled up a hat-trick. But he’s having a first run for a new yard after a lay-off so may not be much value. It’s a long time since the once-useful Federici showed any worthwhile form over fences so this could end up a battle between the two teenagers in the line-up. Alderbrook Lad is a dual winner here but BLUE KASCADE is the stronger stayer and can record a first victory in more than two years.
