Plenty of these will be back for the Cesarewitch next month and Mark Tompkins' runners are always worth a second glance in this trial. The trainer won this race in 2010 and Dazinski, who was second in a two miler at York, would have solid claims if the rain stays away. Nanton is consistent and Secret Tune performed well in last year's contest, but we believe that NEW YOUMZAIN is the one to be on. Mick Channon's three-year-old got the better of Bradbury when they met at Chester and though they meet again, our selection looks open to improvement and a win should see him making the cut for the big race. Body Language made all to win a Ripon handicap though she'll need to have improved in the interim. Saborido won a four-runner affair over 2m1f at Bath though Amanda Perrett's hat-trick seeker is yet to prove that he stays this trip when tackling it at a less sedate pace.
