Verdict
Essential showed potential in both starts on Polytrack in the spring but has a long absence to overcome and his ability to act on the ground has to be taken on trust. VAN VELDE started off with a decent run at Newcastle before taking on the more-experienced Equiano Springs at Beverley where he couldn't match strides with the winner. He should be suited by this easier surface and gets the nod as Gunmaker was well beaten in a poor maiden handicap at Yarmouth last time. The remainder will need some improvement if they are to make any impression.
