Waddat makes most appeal of the two with racecourse experience but the rest make belated debuts and the betting may offer some clues. Cold Front and Hurricane Alex represent trainers that have won this on more than one occasion though neither yard is in great form at present and a chance is taken on BULLFINCH. The latter is a half-brother to winning stable companion Thorn out of the high-class Thistle Bird, also trained by Roger Charlton. Motamayiz is a half-brother to a Group 2 winner and Iron Heart is the first foal of a Group 3 winner and is preferred to stablemate Kafee. Risk Taker and With Respect are both related to Listed winners with the latter looking to have the best chance of Hughie Morrison’s three runners.
