You Do The Math can step on his promising debut to account for Lord Chesters and Zaffie Parson, with the market best watched for the newcomers. Len Lungo has a good record here with his bumper inmates, and You Do The Math should make a bold bid to improve on his introduction at Ayr where he went down fighting to Witch Wind. He did not get the best of racing room in the closing stages and will be a popular choice to atone. Lord Chesters ran very green on his debut here a month ago but will have learnt plenty and he should at least appreciate the step up in trip. Zaffie Parson also shaped well when third on her Sedgefield bow and is another that can get involved. As for the newcomers, Park Supreme, Eight Fifty Five and Chomolunga all hail from yards that can get one ready first time, so that adds to the conundrum. Therefore only a tentative vote goes to You Do The Math.
