Well supported in the betting for his debut at Wolverhampton, connections of HORSTED KEYNES will be looking to make amends. Slowly away, he made up lots of ground on that occasion and was only beaten a nose at the line despite having to race wide. Today's rivals have some catching up to do although Marco Botti won this race last year and First Sargeant is expected to improve on a modest debut at Yarmouth, while Poitin should be thereabouts on her latest effort at Newmarket. Seaside Rock could prove best of the remainder.
