The Hannon yard has won four of the last six renewals and Madrinho is rated much higher than stablemate Ginger Joe as he steps up in trip. But Clive Cox' ZONDERLAND (NAP) ran well in a Group 3 at Newmarket earlier this month behind the smart Sanus Per Aquam and that looks strong enough form to merit the selection. Start Time is progressing well winning a handicap at Windsor last time by a wide margin and may improve past Listed 6f winner Whitman. Both Crazy Horse and Return Of The Mak made winning starts in their respective maidens and make most appeal of the remainder stepping straight up into pattern company.
