Good Tidings finished well behind the winner when third at Salisbury on a recent debut. He likely do better with that run under his belt but FINAL ORDERS is preferred. The latter failed to see out the 1m4f trip at Ripon last time but was beaten less than a length over today’s distance at Leicester before that and the winner has subsequently gone in again. Simon Crisford’s charge gets the vote in first-time headgear. Overbeck can figure with normal progress while the Godolphin newcomer Nsnas is worth a second glance in the betting.
