Although no match for the winner, New Strategy finished runner-up at Redcar on his debut behind Puissant. The latter is trained by Marco Botti so the trainer should have a good line on the chances of BORAK, fourth at Nottingham on his introduction and certain to have benefited from the experience. Tafahom showed some promise at Haydock a fortnight ago and may figure while the newcomers Awesome Power and Greatest Hits are both related to winners and worth noting in the betting.
