Beauen Arrows was a 66/1 chance when runner-up at Kempton and has plenty of scope as has North Lincoln, who couldn't go the early pace at Wolverhampton but was staying on nicely. Income didn't quite get the run of the race when narrowly beaten over this trip at Chelmsford and then found 5f too short at Wolverhampton. She should make a bold bid though MAGICAL DIAS (NAP) may have her measure. Richard Hannon's filly was in the lead at this trip when beaten a neck over 7f at Wolverhampton and the winner has gone in again since. Aphelios is a half-brother to three winners up to a mile and is one to note on his belated debut.
