CENTRAL SQUARE was well supported on his debut at Doncaster and though finding Koora too strong he was conceding 5lb and lost nothing in defeat. With his yard still firing in the winners, he should go one better. Mr Quicksilver finished just behind the selection on Town Moor but had plenty of experience and appears unlikely to reverse the form. Tea Gown has had enough chances but Reetaj has done nothing wrong despite finishing second in all five starts and he was having his first run since February at Salisbury a couple of weeks ago. Poniatowski set the pace on his debut at Pontefract and wasn't headed until the closing stages so he'll make a bold bid to lead all.
