Harry Le Fise Lake was still in front when falling four out at Kempton and could go close here with a clear round. Beggar's Opera has ability but may need this, while Flat winners Hits Only Jude, Red Jade and Sirgarfieldsobers would all warrant a second look if the marker spoke in their favour. But there was a lot to like about TOTO SKYLLACHY's debut effort over timber at Musselburgh, where he kept on well up the home straight having been given plenty to do. There's just a worry this stiffer track will expose possible stamina flaws but he still gets a tentative vote to open his account.
