Charlie Appleby has been slamming the winners in on the all-weather and Second Wave is certain to attract attention after making a successful debut in a maiden here in September. That wasn't the greatest of races, however, and this looks a tricky handicap. All You made a successful start at Wolverhampton last month where he would have won easily but for running green in the closing stages so he looks a nice prospect. But Go Dan Go hasn't run on ground this fast and Mahsooba disappointed after landing a Newmarket maiden in August. Mystic Miraaj ran three times in his first campaign - all on this track - and showed enough to suggest he can win races this season but LOOM OF LIFE looks the one to be on after a promising start to the campaign at Newcastle on Saturday, where he ran well despite still looking in need of the experience.
