Rated 87, Self Praise has failed to land the odds in maiden company the last twice and has been done no favours by the draw in this. He’s taken on with BROTHER SEBASTIAN, fourth at Thirsk on his debut when just behind a subsequent winner. Kessaar Power drops back down in class today while Blue Yonder was still well beaten when third of five at Hamilton and stablemate Storm Venture is preferred of the newcomers.
