Those with experience look no great shakes with Galesburg disappointing last time and Musical Taste failing to show much progress on her latest start. Justice Rock and Jasim Junior finished a bit closer without threatening last time and Richard Hannon complicates matters by running a couple of newcomers in Ryan The Giant and Zapped who are both related to winners. The betting may give a clue to the chances of the latter pair but a speculative vote goes to JUDICIAL ENQUIRY to make a winning start as he is a half-brother to three winners and is partnered by a 7lb claimer.
