The Mark Pitman-trained Dempsey is developing into a useful performer and he should take a race like this in his stride. However, his profile is sure to be reflected in his price and it will take a huge stake to break the bank with him today. Apollo Theatre and Party Games are others to watch out for with regard to the future and are bred to make an impact when they have a little more experience. So too is Master Jed, who makes his debut over hurdles this afternoon. But it will take a good one to get the better of Dempsey and he should add to his earlier course and distance success with the minimum of fuss today.
