It's onwards and upwards for Nosferatu, who can follow up here, with Great Hawk, Hernando Royal and Cape Secret others worth a mention. Nosferatu is only lightly-raced and has tons of improvement to come judged on what we have seen so far. He showed that he had trained on from three to four when battling home from Active Asset at Windsor on his reappearance last month, and with no doubts about the soft going, he can defy a mark of 88 to follow up before being readied for a possible crack at the Ebor. Great Hawk lowered the colours of Acrobatic at Kempton last September, but has plenty of weight and we do not know whether he will act on the ground. Hernando Royal does go on the ground, gets the trip and lines up fit after a comeback win at Kempton. He should go well along with Cape Secret, while Flying Clarets has been unfortunate to find one too good on each of his last two starts, and cannot be discounted from a big run. Nosferatu may have been let in lightly though, and can take this before going on to greater success,
