This is wide open with the likes of Sovereign Debt, Asifa and Nemushka all open to improvement on their seasonal debuts. Falcon In Flight could also be anything as she won a maiden at Yarmouth in good ground by seven lengths on her introduction and Three Bards was a cosy winner of a Southwell maiden in February. Nameitwhatyoulike is more exposed but went close on his comeback at Redcar but we expect a big run from CHOISAN, who was only beaten a head in soft ground last year before winning at Musselburgh and will have come on for his reappearance at Ripon last week. Basantee will relish the surface and is yet another to consider.
