True Hero ended his first campaign with a victory over the track and trip but has changed yards. Richard Hannon has two entries and Enchanted Linda completed a double at Ffos Las and Beverley before running well in a York nursery while Typhoon Ten made a successful debut at Kempton so the lack of a recent run won't be a problem. Khafooq looks a very speedy type and has joined the right yard but Silvestre De Sousa was on board when PHOENIX STAR won at Yarmouth and takes the ride again on Amy Murphy's charge, who was having his first start for the stable when leading for much of the way at Wolverhampton in February. Pink Iceburg won at Yarmouth last summer and didn't perform badly in Listed company later so he's one to note on his handicap debut.
