Kevin Ryan looks to have found a good opportunity for KYNANCE. Below par on the Fibresand at Southwell last time, she placed in all previous four starts including when runner-up on the Tapeta at Newcastle. Involved was beaten a long way by Craving, rated 78, when second at Southwell which suggests he may struggle with the selection on these terms and Astone Man has even tougher task task rated only 50. Viento De Condor was tailed off on his debut and the newcomers make little appeal.
