Koduro returns from a 400-day absence but had decent form as a juvenile. Summer Daydream won the Two-Year-Old Trophy at Redcar last year but evidence this year suggests she hasn’t trained on. Her stablemate NEVER BE ENOUGH (NAP) bids for a third course victory of the campaign and arrives off the back of a smooth winning debut over hurdles at Perth, where he beat Sarvi six lengths without coming off the bridle. He looks the one to beat even though Set In Stone finally took advantage of a tumbling mark here last month and is only 3lb higher.
