Aussie Banker cost £40,000 and has a nice pedigree but could be caught out by a lack of experience. ANTIPHON was an eye-catcher in a very strong maiden at Newmarket in April which has produced Group 1 and Group 2 winners. He hasn’t raced since but the 7lb he receives from last month’s Haydock winner Whoputfiftyinyou should prove decisive. Sharesa has three lengths to find with the latter and was only fourth here subsequently.
