Hare In A Round was only beaten a length-and-a-half at Worcester last month and should be prominent again here. Kilmurvy has already been placed here and at Stratford but the well-bred NOBLE FRIEND will have learned plenty from his debut third when he ran in snatches and wandered when challenging up the home straight. Paul Nicholls' four-year-old can recoup losses here. It would be no surprise if Carole's Destrier and Dreams And Songs proved the pick of the newcomers.
