This will revolve around how good the newcomers are, of which the Haggas colt, Alkaamel, Ralph Beckett's Frankel colt, Fume, and Leroy Leroy for the Hannon team make most appeal on paper. Strong market support for any of the trio should be noted. Of those to run, Triggered caught the eye on debut when staying on notably well after a slow start but gives the impression he already may require another furlong. I'm Billy Murphy ran perfectly well first time up at Ripon and should improve but the form of HAFEET ALAIN has a stronger feel to it and he gets the nod. However, he cannot be a confident choice with so many interesting newcomers in opposition.
