    Didn't see out his race when seventh on handicap debut at Carlisle (2m4f, good to soft; Gonnino second); it's possible he needed that (off a two-month break) but, equally, stamina might have been a factor; 3lb lower and claimer ridden; not impossible.

    Verdict

    Top of the list is PROPHETESS MIRIAM, who has finished second in two bumpers in Ireland and did well to hang in there after setting a strong pace at Punchestown last month. The main threat could come from Coconut Man, who was bought for £60,000 after his runner-up effort in an Irish point in the spring. The pick of the newcomers could be Battle Of Cape, who is a half-brother to a useful bumper winner.[David Moon]
