A host of improving three-year-olds to choose from with the likes of Strange Society and Adjutant making their handicap debuts and Crack On Crack On, Completion and Ventura Knight having all won lower grade handicaps on their latest outings. Dragon’s Tail went close in this grade at Chester recently and should make another bold bid in first-time headgear but QAYSAR (NAP) looks the most progressive of these. Richard Hannon’s colt landed a couple of novice events before winning a Class 2 handicap over 7f at Newbury when giving the impression this extra distance would suit - he gets the vote to continue winning ways.
