Mark Johnston’s newcomer Lion Tower is worth a market check as he is sprint-bred and looks to have a decent draw but otherwise this is probably a match between Will To Win and SHINE ON BRENDAN (NAP). The latter has found one too good in both outings so far but has the more recent form with the former, who is penalised, not having raced since landing the odds at Lingfield in June. Broughton Sunpearl was third on debut at Kempton but beaten a long way at Lingfield and now gets headgear.
