CAMPROND tries a new trip but should stay and he has a useful turn of foot – he is preferred to stablemate Luttrell Lad. Tile Tapper should be winning soon but probably not at this level. The race-fit First Street is preferred to Paso Doble of the four-year-olds but there has only been one winner from that age group in the last 10 years. Coeur Serein is hardly unexposed but was much improved in the spring when rattling up a hat-trick. He stays well and handles most surfaces while Up For Parol looks the type to make further progress this season. Winning pointer Hidden Heroics is thrown in at the deep end on his debut under Rules but will probably prove above average.
