DANCING SPEED found one too good at Nottingham last time but this looks less competitive and the Hannon colt is taken to open his account. The remaining trio have yet to threaten including the Haggas representative First Thought though the latter goes handicapping for the first time along with Recuerdame, fourth here recently and preferred to Camachess.
