Beat only two rivals at Bath (1m, firm) to open his account at the ninth attempt; however, may build on that success and do better still, in keeping with his pedigree (from a family that has served his connections well); shortlisted.

Verdict

None of these are safely ruled out. Akabusi got off to the perfect start for this yard last month and should go well in the repeat bid but STATION BAR hails from a family his trainer knows inside out and he can make a winning handicap debut.[Richard Russell]
