WILLIES WONDER stands out here on his recent second at Kempton. That's the best piece of form on offer and further improvement is expected as he stretches out a furlong. Charlie Hills' also has his yard in good form but the Hannon team have made a relatively slow start to the season for such a prolific stable. Still, their newcomer Black Mascara is worth noting along with fellow debutant Charles Tyrwhitt, while it would be no surprise to see improved efforts from the likes of Silence Is Easy and Royal Dutch on their seasonal debuts.
