Olly Murphy has a good record here and SAN FERMIN can add to the tally in a low-key bumper. The gelding shaped well here in March on Rules debut and now has his first start for a new yard in a contest where his rivals have yet to make the first three. William Cody did reveal some progression last time at this track and is put up as next best, though Paul Webber will hope wind surgery assists the claims of Tika Moon and Holdupwaitaminute won't have to be anything special to play a prominent part on debut.
