Neither Ehtifaal nor Silver Duke figured on their reappearance but both have claims on last year's debut efforts. Potentate is a leading contender on his form on faster going though Speculative Bid is rated 2lb higher after a second at Kempton. Spirit Raiser is likely to have improved from her recent outing at Haydock and the 160,000gns purchase Tap Your Toes is worth a second glance on his debut. But LACAN finished ahead of a subsequent winner when second in soft ground at Nottingham on last month's introduction and Clive Cox's colt gets the nod to go one better.
