Those with experience are all having their first start of the year. Wannabe Your Man's latest third at Pontefract is misleading as he finished tailed off in heavy ground but Come On Sunshine is less exposed than Martinas Delight and ended last term with an improved effort at Haydock. Votary and Gallic Destiny are both worth noting in the betting but a speculative vote goes the way of fellow newcomer FULL MOON FEVER, a sister to winning stablemate Glorious Protector and bred to prove best over middle-distances.
