Photonics made a promising start when runner-up over track and trip only to disappoint at York last time, albeit in better company than this. Cracker Factory also went backwards last time but Windsor Cross and Broken Wings look likely improvers on the back of decent debut efforts at this venue. ELEGIAC ran well on his introduction when third over 1m2f at Lingfield. The winner is rated 76 so that looks strong enough form in this company and Mark Johnston’s colt gets the nod.
