A couple of interesting newcomers in the form of Tepee and Dancing Sword to keep an eye on in the betting however Hampstead Heath brings a decent level of form to the contest and gets the vote ahead of Tenjack King and Stop On. The selection has started favourite on his two starts to date which is slightly worrying, but he is better than the bare result of last time out. He was checked when making his effort and having lost all momentum, he did fairly well to finish as close as he did. Today's step up in trip looks sure to suit and with more improvement to come, he is fancied to get off the mark. Tenjack King shaped with plenty of promise on his debut run from a poor draw and he should warrant plenty of respect given nominal improvement. Black Jacari was slowly away over course and distance last time out but finished with purpose and should be wiser this afternoon, whilst Addikt is another who should have come on for his last outing. Tepee won't be rushed on her debut but catches the eye, however Hampstead Heath gets the vote.
