Isatis was only beaten half-a-length on the Polytrack in November last year but he's been disappointing this season and was an odds-on chance when only second at Brighton last month. LAST FIGHTER cost 90,000gns and is a full brother to the smart Halicarnassus. He can only improve on a debut second at Folkestone and it would be no surprise if he went one better here. Pashan Garh has had plenty of chances and Register is also starting to look exposed while Bull Bay tries a new trip, but there may be more to come from Basingstoke and Panzanella was a promising fifth on her only start at Doncaster at the back-end of last year. She's obviously had problems since but it will be interesting to see if she attracts market support on her belated reappearance.
