A difficult puzzle at this stage with a number of top yards fielding unraced or lightly-raced sorts.,The market should prove a constructive guide but we'll row in with STABLEFORD who stayed on very well on his Doncaster debut when seemingly unfancied to claim the runner-up spot behind Matrooh. He should improve appreciably for the run and can confirm placings with the fifth-placed Spirit Rider, also noted doing good late work. He looks sure to improve for the champion trainer and get involved. Jockey bookings point to Stomachian being the first string of the Stoute pair whilst Top Jet, You Look So Good and Shanal are all worth a look on debut.
