RIVER DEEP was beaten 16 lengths on his debut at Wincanton but that was probably a decent bumper and he's likely to start at short odds to get off the mark in this. Willie Musson doesn't have many bumper horses so a market move for Broughtons Warrior, who comes from a successful family, would be interesting while Zeroshadesofgrey hinted at ability at Wincanton last April, though hasn't been seen since.
