CONTRAST ran well in Listed company behind Frankuus at Haydock last time. Ryan Moore takes over the reins and even better is expected back on a faster surface. He handled the soft ground at Haydock much better than Red Ensign, but the latter should be more at home on today’s going while Bay Of Poets opened his account at Kempton and a host of fancy entries suggests he’ll show further progress. Ultimate Avenue and Law And Order are other recent maiden winners likely to improve while Raheen House finished ahead of Temple Church when runner-up at Newbury. Galactic Prince has a bit to find on these terms.
