It was soft ground at Nottingham when DONNCHA finished third ahead of a subsequent winner. But he'd finished a respectable sixth on this surface on his debut back in August and Robert Eddery's charge gets the vote. Bountiful Sin was never in contention despite finishing third at Lingfield last time and the more exposed Oriental Relation attempts a longer trip for his first start on Polytrack. Deavin is related to three winners and is one to note for any support on his racecourse debut.
