Graham Wylie bought Roger Beantown out of Tom Hogan's yard after the gelding made a winning debut at Thurles in November. He'll be expecting some return from his investment but will do well to win this under his penalty after a break so preference is for HARVEY'S HOPE, who probably came up against a useful prospect in Fourth Estate at Doncaster earlier this month. Pyjama Game has only found one too good in a couple of races at Musselburgh and Dome Run's connections will fancy their chances of reversing Sedgefield running with Turbolinas on 9lb better terms. Balivernier and Nodform Richard are both well-bred types and could be interesting on debut if the market speaks in their favour.
