Woodstock was beaten a long way on his Turf debut at Nottingham but the returning John Chard VC goes on the shortlist as he ended the last campaign with a fair third over this trip in a Class 2 at York. Dornoch Castle was prominent for a long way on reappearance at Haydock but SUDDEN AMBUSH gets another chance having found 1m2f too far last time at Newmarket where he finished a length-and-a-half ahead of Man Of Eden, second here subsequently. Wolverhampton winner Come Together is not out of this and neither is the Lingfield scorer Tiger Bay.
