A couple of these make their handicap debuts having returned wide-margin winners in novice company with VENTURA BOUNTY preferred. Richard Hannon's colt beat a subsequent winner by five lengths at Newcastle and looks to have leading claims. Godfather was an easy winner at Southwell recently but had found Mount Mogan too good over 6f here before that and the latter ran well at Chelmsford on his handicap debut. Lethal Talent was beaten only a nose over track and trip last time and Irish Acclaim won a maiden race at Kempton recently while Odyssey Girl finished in front of Bendy Spirit again when placed at Lingfield.
