Harry Cobden is booked for Emanate on the gelding's second start over timber but he was beaten over 40 lengths on debut and must step forward. He'd been absent for over 300 days though and ought to improve. Harry Gulliver was fifth of 14 in a better race on hurdling debut at Chepstow, a run that sets an albeit modest form standard here. He'll be better for the run and looks a leading player. Theatrical Light and Prince Of Newton represent strong yards and the market may guide as to their chance. SATONO JAPAN has only had one spin over timber but had some fair form in ordinary handicaps on the level for Sir Michael Stoute and is a speculative suggestion in a low-key affair for a yard that does well with limited ammunition.
