Jan Steen's form is just about the best of those with experience but that isn't saying much and the Yorkshire-based newcomers MEDIA BOOK and Full Of Promise can fight this one out. The former is the second foal of a superbly-bred mare whose first runner scored over a mile so she gets the nod though the latter is a half-sister to three winners, all at around this trip. Paul Cole tries Chempedak Bay in blinkers after a couple of moderate efforts while Pink Martini is a likely improver after a reasonable debut at Wolverhampton.
