Corndavon Lad has only raced at 5f so far, producing his best form at Nottingham last time when leading for a long way. Paul Hanagan rides rather than stable companion The New Marwan, who has found Chester too tight in both starts but was running on well there last month. MATERA gets the nod as he looked in need of the experience at Haydock but stayed on nicely when the penny dropped and there's more to come. Keith Dalgleish has his horses flying so the very speedily-bred Aberama Gold is one to note as is Mark Johnston's One Hart, though he's likely to need a bit further in time.
