EVERYTHING FOR YOU showed some improvement on his return to action at Wolverhampton when finding only one too good. Kevin Ryan’s colt has a fitness advantage over Merlin, who ended last season with a second at Yarmouth to a subsequent handicap winner. Bumptious showed some ability last year without threatening to win while Godolphin’s Playwriter and the Pivotal colt Belgravian, a half-brother to a Group 3 winner among others, are both newcomers to note for any strong support.
