DION BAKER gets a speculative vote on a debut fifth at Doncaster in October. That looks stronger form than Swinton’s debut effort here last year and Kevin Ryan’s charge may prove the one to side with. Beattie Is Back steps up in trip while The Ganges is a half-brother to a Listed winner representing a yard in good form. How Impressive is another newcomer to note ahead of both Ba Na Hills and Come On John.
