Last Page should be the pick of David Evans’ trio in this but it’s a big worry that he hung right at Bath last time and he starts out quite wide on the course. DAHIK ran green on his debut at Doncaster but led over 2f out until headed close home. He has a good draw here if he can break smartly and will know more today. Dragons Tail will need to get away quickly to take advantage of his draw, which he didn’t do at Leicester. But he’s another with scope and Milton Road already has plenty of experience. Jeremy Noseda doesn’t run many juveniles this early in the season so Kat O'Strophic, a 70,000gns daughter of Kodiac, is worth a market check given William Buick has been booked to ride.
