A couple of these stand out though rated 73, much better was expected of No Not Again at Leicester last time. ODELOUCA is preferred despite dropping back down in trip after a good effort over 7f at Kempton. In the lead at today’s distance on that occasion, Brendan Powell’s filly gets the nod. The remainder have plenty of catching up to do on what they have shown so far while Sattar makes little appeal on his racecourse debut.
