RESERVE TANK tries 3m for the first time but has a relaxed style of racing which should enable him to last home. He should have too much firepower for Ardlethen, who was readily brushed aside by Sam Spinner at Wetherby after scoring at Chepstow. Danny Whizzbang was unbeaten over hurdles and has won a point so could be anything but is taking on a couple of very smart novices on his debut over fences.
