Roger Charlton seldom spends his time with horses rated 67 so Selfara would be of obvious interest in the first time blinkers, but the Northern contingent looks strong and we prefer PLANETEX. Given the form of the John Quinn yard, a price of 16/1 was somewhat baffling about him at Ripon but he made a mockery of those odds and looks to be capable of building upon that success. Chambles won her latest start on the Polytrack at Wolverhampton, and as she is out of a Pivotal dam, Alan McCabe will be hoping that she can cope with the conditions. New Decade ran solidly enough at Doncaster on his most recent outing and having won at Warwick when there was plenty of mud flying, he looks more than capable of taking a hand. Demora found Catterick's 5f too sharp on Wednesday after two good efforts at Nottingham.
