Alan Swinbank's bumper horses are always to be feared so the German-bred Sir Charlie Hutch is certain to attract attention on his debut. Micky Hammond's horses have been in good form so Sinfield, who showed ability on his debut behind Distime at Wetherby, is one to keep an eye on and he holds Think on that run. EVANS WOOD is Flat bred and made his racecourse bow over 1m6f at Huntingdon. He wasn't remotely fancied that day but ran well enough to suggest a race of this nature can come his way. The four-year-old filly Valesia, whose dam is from the family of Nick Dundee and Ned Kelly, is one to keep an eye on for the future.
