Not too much for us to go on here but we will take a chance that KOJAK can keep his hair on this time and win from Emma's Gift and He's The Star. The last-named at least has experience of this quirky track to his name and was not disgraced on his debut here, when running green but keeping on well as the race unfolded. He should have learned a lot and can finish closer. Emma's Gift is the pick of those that have completed a race. Julia Fielden's filly probably improved a little for her debut, though clearly not as much expected, and she was a beaten favourite at Yarmouth last time. She may have needed that second run and would be no shock winner this time around. Pedigree suggests that Uncle Dermot will be better at three, while Kyncraighe is probably best watched first time and we will turn to Kojak. Richard Hannon's two-year-olds have been on fire this season, but the selection was very edgy before his debut at Ascot on Saturday, and that cost him in the race, where he was in the process of running well before unshipping Richard Hughes. As well as a bit of temperament, he also showed a fair bit of ability that day and with safe passage here he looks likely to be tough to beat.
