Second Page showed a big improvement to finish third over track and trip last time and is going the right way while Preobrajenska was narrowly beaten here back in June and has her first start since. But OMRAN (NAP) caught the eye with a late surge to finish second over 6f at Doncaster on last month’s debut and this extra distance should suit Marco Botti’s colt on that evidence. Maori Bob and Special Relation have some improvement to find while Willwams is a newcomer to note for the Hannon yard.
