SALATEEN was not knocked about on his debut at Ayr, and having briefly become outpaced, he should fully appreciate this step up in trip. Here Now ran a solid race over course and distance when soft ground obtained, and Charlie Appleby's colt seems sure to give another fair account tonight. Amazour is watched closely in the market on his racecourse debut. Ismail Mohammed has struggled with his juveniles this season but this colt possesses a very likeable profile, as he is out of a mare that won over this distance as a juvenile. Critical Risk was turned over at a shade of odds-on at Leicester and Brian Meehan's charge has a bit more to do in order to break his duck.
