FIRST THOUGHT is not the most straightforward but swapping cheekpieces for blinkers seemed to work the oracle here last week given the Haggas colt won by six lengths. He can defy a penalty and go in again at this level. Swan Street finished closer at Chelmsford without threatening but Um Shama, Temujin and Korcho are all preferred now handicapping for the first time. This is tougher than the seller My Maharani won at Newmarket last month but Farump finished in front of Riverwing when fourth over 7f here last time.

Camelot Rakti (IRE) 25-1 (8-12) Keen mid-division, pushed along 3f out, headway 3f out, short of room and hampered over 1f out, soon weakened, 13th of 15, 11 3/4l behind Glance (8-12) at Goodwood 7f fll stks (5) gd in Sep.
Calling The Wind (IRE) 11-1 (9-7) Slowly into stride, towards rear on inside, kept on final 2f, went modest 4th inside final furlong, no threat, 4th of 13, 10 1/2l behind Storm Shelter (9-5) at Chelmsford City 1m (6) pol in Sep.
