Speed Hawk made a cracking return to action at York when only finding the potentially-useful G Force too good. Scarborough and subsequent Windsor winner Piazon were both behind that day and Robert Cowell's charge could take all the beating here. But a wide draw tempers enthusiasm and Soul Brother, who had been unlucky to come up against a couple of nice types before scoring easily at Newcastle, will also start out wide. Nottingham winner Captain Myles and Musselburgh maiden winner Noble Asset have more on their plate here but PETERKIN looks interesting. He stopped quickly over 6f at Newmarket last time but, as at HQ previously, had shown terrific early speed and he might take some catching here from stall three.
