STAXTON was a rare first-time out winner for his yard but there was no fluke about that 50/1 victory at Haydock where he came with a storming late run to beat two previous winners. He has to concede weight all round with his penalty but should have made enough progress to shrug off the extra. Hey Jonesy has to be a major threat after just failing to hold Ingenuity at Carlisle. He'll have come on a bundle for the run as will Fiery Breath, who showed good speed for a long way at Windsor. The Throstles was a 66/1 chance at Wolverhampton but belied his odds with a fine effort and he's another who should have made progress. Richard Fahey's filly Barefoot Babe is very speedily-bred but the market should be noted for clues.
