NORDIKHAB failed to justify some of the loftier entries that were made for him earlier in his career but Kevin Ryan's gelding has been unfortunate to come up against some decent opposition in the past and he can finally get off the mark. Tim Easterby's stable won this race last year so there are sure to be plenty of supporters of Bachotheque. He ran respectably on a previous visit to the course, though weakened out of things all too quickly at York. Baron Run chased home a long odds-on rival at Sandown on debut, but he did at least keep going when others were happy to cry enough. Heaven's Guest is respected on debut while any interest about Mujadora is noted despite a pedigree that suggests him as being likely to be better over further.
