The Hannon yard has won both previous renewals and better is expected from Always Fearless back over a longer trip having gone close over 7f at Haydock earlier. But JOHAN wasn’t beaten far at Newmarket on his debut a fortnight ago when finishing well clear of the rest and the Haggas colt is fancied to come out best with normal progress. The others with racecourse experience make little appeal but a couple of newcomers are worth noting including 320,000gns purchase Rovaniemi. He can include a Listed winner among his winning relatives while Red For All is a half-brother to several winners including Group 2 sprinter Misheer.
