This looks wide-open but FIRST DYNASTY won a novices' race over track and trip before going close on his handicap debut and first-time cheekpieces may bring further progress. One Step Beyond has been winning lower grade contests while Storm Catcher recorded a hat-trick of course and distance victories at the turn of the year. Sonnerie Power and Idee Fixee drop back down in distance while Long Tradition missed the whole of last year having won a novices' race here in 2021.
