It was soft going at Nottingham when ABIENTO finished fourth and Ed Walker’s charge should be in the firing-line again. The Daley Express has yet to win but has had just the six starts and went close over 5f here last week while Del Parco is also lightly raced and may well finish closer if handling today’s ground. Coastal Cyclone is another who could figure if first-time headgear has the desired effect while Prominna is preferred to Awesome Allan of the remainder.
