Townsend Manor is penalised for winning at Redcar and debuts on the all-weather while Hint Of The Jungle, Boann and Hot Front are novice winners on artificial surfaces and Mc Loven is a maiden winner at Wolverhampton. Both Tenhotfourcrazy and Bibendum drop down in class for their handicap debuts but NAZRON was beaten less than a length at Sandown behind a couple of subsequent winners and the Varian colt may prove the one to side with in an open contest.
