The Gosden yard had a good chance in the first race and EPIC VOYAGE has leading claims in this. The latter found Thewandaofu, rated 90, too good in a novice event over track and trip last time but this is less competitive. Canova finished well ahead of Chinotto when third at Kempton and should be thereabouts again while Jalingo may improve for the step up to a mile. Fair Share wears his owner's second colours behind the selection on his racecourse debut and fellow newcomer Sealed With A Kiss is a half-sister to the useful Dr Fong among others.
