Light Angel is the most exposed of these and often pulls hard so there is a good chance he may not last home over this longer trip. Tom Dascombe sent out Great Scot, who runs in the previous race, to win this 12 months ago and his HE’S A KEEPER won easily on soft going over course and distance on his second start. Much more will be needed today but he may offer some value against more fashionably-bred juveniles who will have to prove they handle conditions. Sound Of Cannons showed a willing attitude when making a winning start at Newmarket but none of those behind have franked the form. Newbury second Sesame Birah is entitled to be thereabouts again, however, and Subjectivist was second in this grade at Salisbury. Tammani’s win at Sandown is working out and he shouldn’t be underestimated.
