Verdict
Ed Walker took this in 2014 with George Baker riding so Hernandes, who made a very encouraging debut at Wolverhampton, has to be respected. TOBRAVE also caught the eye at Kempton where he took an age to warm up but found his feet in the closing stages and can improve enough to take this. Suffragette City hasn't done much wrong and would have finished closer in an Epsom nursery last time if getting a clear run while Intimate Art was staying on over 6f at Ffos Las and will definitely appreciate the longer trip. Brimham Rocks, already gelded, may prove best of the newcomers.
