Mumgos Debut probably deserves a change of luck but is still winless after 14 career starts. Quick Decisson has yet to score over fences and may need more time to acclimatise to new surroundings while Scorpions Sting hasn't been getting any closer and has a modest strike-rate. PAMAK D'AIRY is now a teenager and tends to do most of his racing at Newcastle but this track is similar in nature and he shouldn't be far away if reproducing his latest second at Gosforth Park with the winner having scored again since. Willie Hall is consistent in this grade and looks best of the rest.
