Just the three with racecourse experience but all made the frame on debut. ETHANDUN probably showed most promise when runner-up at Goodwood, despite being a beaten favourite, and can recoup losses. Denruth Diamond when third over 5f here last month and Say Hello filled the same place at Sandown despite missing the break. There are a host of newcomers to consider, however, including Charlie Hills’ pair Chief Mankato and Robbo and Roger Varian’s Response Force. Sky Wizard is a half-brother to a 6f and 7f winner and Rockstar Icon is a full brother to Walkonby, who won three times as a juvenile.
