La Pulga made a winning start at Sandown and is penalised along with Lingfield winner Mr Mccann. A couple of these are Frankel colts expected to improve for the extra distance having shown ability over 6f on their respective debuts. Nuance ran green when fourth here last month but TRIPLE TIME finished third behind Dhabab, rated 101, at Leicester and that looks the stronger form. Modern Games and Lelabad are newcomers representing powerful in-form yards and are both worth noting.
