Nomasee is penalised for winning a maiden over track and trip but can still figure given the likes of Westmorian, Eshkaal and Bounce This Way all need to take a step forward to get involved. Of the newcomers, Eagle's Way represents a yard in fine form and Fristel is worth noting but GOLD MEDAL can include a couple of Listed winners among his winning relatives so a chance is taken on Richard Hughes’ charge.
