Sir Mark Prescott's Krypton Factor saddles the top weight in this nursery and has to be high on the list considering the form of the stable but a 7lb rise for his Sandown win looks harsh and he may have to settle for a place at best. David Brown's Easy Ticket and Richard Fahey's Talley Close both come here on the back of wins in maidens at Pontefract and Catterick respectively and have to be considered first time in a nursery but both are likely to find this tougher. Kevin Ryan's Chester winner, Puddle Duck, ran well off his new mark at Goodwood last week and has chances off the same mark today but FALKLAND FLYER caught the eye at the same meeting when not getting the clearest of runs behind Royal Exchange and he can gain compensation here.
