One Pekan was sent off a short-priced favourite at Wolverhampton on his return but found Feyaydi three lengths too good. STORMING also returned a losing favourite on the Polytrack in March but his third to the unbeaten Regal Hawk looks stronger form as the runner-up has won subsequently. Recent Lingfield second Arctic Admiral is another to consider given his yard have won two of the last three renewals while a trio of less-exposed types make their seasonal debuts. Much better is expected from Ghost Runner this year and Legal Waves is preferred to Double Discount on the strength of his second at Newmarket in October.
