BAJAN HERO is making steady progress and went close at Salisbury last time when headed near the finish. Another step forward today should be enough to see him go one better and open his account. Monty Fay also showed improvement when finding only one too good on the Polytrack and can figure on his turf debut, while Red Senor cannot be easily dismissed after his recent fourth at Windsor. Continuity and Meloneras are others with claims if at their best, but the newcomers make no appeal on breeding.
