Stopdworldnletmeof never threatened when fourth here last time but was well ahead of Joysunny. The remainder make their debuts on this surface with Arzaak wighted to beat recent Newcastle runner-up Sheepscar Lad back in maiden company. But HART STOPPER is less exposed and should be sharper for a comeback run at Wolverhampton earlier this year. Michael Bell gets his fair share of winners at this venue and his charge is also preferred to Tooty Fruitti, placed at Chelmsford last time.
