Largy Mouth finished runner-up at Ayr on his debut back in May and is preferred to Worcester fifth Make Haste Slowly on that form. Presence Of Mind debuts under Rules having won between the flags earlier this year and could go well under Richard Johnson but HIJACK may prove good enough on his debut. The latter cost E70,000 as a half-brother to the useful Village Vic among others and is preferred to fellow newcomers Eton Pride and Ever So Cool.
