A market move for newcomer Easter Day would be significant, while the likes of Bertie Boru and Un Ami are capable of stepping up on their debut efforts. Former pointer Turanjo Belle may need this, however, and Digger's Mate may have been flattered by his sixth in a Listed contest at Newbury. Young Hurricane's Hereford second was a promising start and he should confirm that form with fourth Schindlers Secret, but Forever Present shaped as though she'll need further when third at Doncaster. Victor Dartnall sets a poser here by saddling TOLKEINS TANGO and Whacko with preference for the former, who won on his debut over C&D last month and has a claimer on board to partly negate his penalty.
