Verdict
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.
