Nanga Parbat was second over this trip on debut at Newbury and again over a mile at Chelmsford. His yard won this last year and he’ll be fancied to make it third-time lucky today but we’ll take a chance on the debutant TOBETSO. His dam enjoyed plenty of give in the ground and his sire was very speedy. Proverb’s dam won over 6f as a juvenile so he also warrants a mention.
