Smart Start went close at Lingfield on last year’s debut but others have more recent form. El Picaro placed over track and trip while Full Approval posted an improved effort at Wolverhampton but SUPER OVER makes most appeal. The latter finished runner-up at Redcar on his reappearance but has been gelded since and first-time blinkers may also bring further progress. Elevate is a full-sister to a winner with Masterman and Sunset Salute other newcomers to note.
