Connaught Ranger has a penalty to overcome having won over today’s trip at Lingfield recently. The remainder with experience have yet to threaten though Pepper Street, Tullyallen and Adjutant will likely finish closer after modest debut efforts and Losingmyreligion ran better on his earlier debut at Yarmouth. Communique is related to a host of winners and could go well but with Roger Charlton’s yard enjoying a purple-patch a chance is taken on BLUE MIST, a half-brother to a couple of winners, making a winning start.
