WITHHOLD was beaten five lengths when favourite at Thirsk last month but was hampered a couple of times on the way round and still finished ahead of Rosette. He is probably worth another chance here though Salisbury fifth Dawn Horizons is open to plenty of improvement over the extra quarter-mile and is a danger. Lee Bay is another likely improver and Rasmee isn't highly tried on debut. London Prize has won a bumper but has his first run for a new stable today.
