Unnoticed could be interesting in this from near the foot of the weights. He's yet to win on Turf but has gone close the last twice at Beverley and has been largely left alone by the handicapper. Akeed Champion and Mystical Spirit were both maiden winners last time but have more on their plate here. Exoplanet Blue's recent victory came on Polytrack and he's 7lb higher but there are possibilities about Ffos Las runner-up Easy Tiger while Darrell Rivers and Quite Smart are also worth a second look. SHOOTINGSTA is very consistent and wasn't beaten far over this trip at Thirsk last time despite missing the break. If he gets away on terms today, he should be thereabouts.
