MOBSTA was only caught in the closing stages when runner-up at Newbury on his debut in testing ground. Five lengths clear of the rest, Mick Channon's colt may well go one better in this. Green Tornado has plenty to find with the selection but Thahab may benefit from this shorter trip after finishing third over 7f here. Cooper is related to four winners while Beardwood and Gerrard's Slip are other newcomers to note.
