Verdict
Smadynium only won seller at Hexham and it's almost 12 months since Make It Happen was last seen on a racecourse but Irish raider Tour D'Argent is likely to be popular with punters under the talented Jack Kennedy. Mr Blue Nose is unexposed and could run well at a price while Stoneham has only found one too good in her last two and finished ahead of Bright Prospect last time. MALIN BAY won off a higher mark over 3m here last summer. He's still capable at this level and Ryan Day should get a tune out of Nicky Richards' 11-year-old. This Thyne Jude may have been flattered by her fourth here last time in a maiden.
