Bought for £38,000, NINEOHTWOONEOH is by Ascot Gold Cup winner Fame And Glory out of an Oscar mare so will stay every inch of this trip and shouldn’t be short of speed. He is Paul Nicholls only runner on Town Moor this afternoon and can make a winning debut. Dhowin cost €42,000 last year and also wears colours that will be familiar to NH supporters. He is by another champion stayer in Yeats and is worth a market check along with fellow newcomer Montana Grey. Tribesmans Glory beat a subsequent hurdles winner in a maiden point in May while Champagne Well may be the pick of those with bumper experience, though Lantiern is a likely improver.
