Several of these have claims but SECOND WAVE is one of the least exposed and plenty of winners have come out of the race he finished third in at Nottingham back in April. Sirheed appeared not to stay a longer trip at Doncaster last time and can figure while Cornborough went close at Ripon recently but is upped a grade for this along with recent Ayr runner-up Normandy Knight. Gambino and Woody Bay look in the handicapper's grip while Lord Franklin's winning run came to end off today's mark at Hamilton last time.
