PURAMENTE (NAP) showed his first sign of ability at Chepstow then just failed to get up over 7f at Kempton on Friday so this extra furlong should be perfect. William Haggas tries Dream of Delphi in a visor after a poor run at Redcar though his victory at Lingfield was gained from a 12lb lower mark. Mr Carbonator had looked a certain future winner with three placed efforts but was never in contention when well supported at Thirsk. Amazing Rock ran his best race to date on Tapeta at Wolverhampton but Silvestre De Sousa takes over on Galloping Hogan, who has shown a modicum of ability. Couldn't Could She didn't handle heavy ground at Ffos Las after a couple of reasonable runs so she could be a threat.
