EPIC EXPRESS makes most appeal in this having missed out by only a neck at Chelmsford last month despite failing to get a clear run. He can go one better with any further progress. Serenhill finished a long way behind the selection and Torrkee was still well beaten when third on his debut though improvement is expected today. Both Sovereign Slipper and Prontissimo are related to winners and are newcomers to keep an eye on.
