Mark Johnston trained last year's winner and his Sixth Sense, a son of Shamardal, is an interesting newcomer in this. He's related to couple of winners, though will almost certainly do better when tackling longer trips. Tribesman is speedily-bred, however, and Smart Mover might be worth monitoring for future reference but FIRST BOMBARDMENT is hard to oppose given he would have probably have won last week's Brocklesby at Doncaster had he not met interference at a crucial stage.
First Bombardment 5-1 (9-3) Chased leaders, ridden inside final furlong, kept on and just held post, 2nd of 9, shd behind Ravenhoe (9-3) at Doncaster 5f 2yo stks (4) gd in Mar.
