RATHBONE’s second to Hesslewood at York last month is the stand out form in this novice stakes and Kevin Ryan’s colt should make it third-time lucky if he handles the soft going. Stronsay has been quite highly tried so far and has shown some ability. This may be beyond him but he’ll be an interesting sort for handicaps in the near future. King Of Tonga was staying on nicely over 5f at Beverley and will be suited by the step up in trip and Richard Fahey also runs the Garswood newcomer Camber, who is a half-brother to a 7f winner and cost 70,000gns as a foal. Amazing Alba has been placed in both starts to date and Freed From Desire has already won over track and trip, though might struggle under her penalty.
