After wins at Sandown and Beverley, Arctic Sound was elevated to Listed company at Salisbury but fell well short of the required standard and he faces no easy task on his nursery debut off a mark of 91. Concello is taking a huge step up in class after wins at Salisbury and Redcar and Axe Axelrod only won by a neck at Wolverhampton last month while Greenback Boogie continues to climb the weights despite having failed to win any of his last three starts. Ground and trip are both a concern for Chains Of Love but Hesslewood is probably worth another try over 7f as he was never going the pace last time at York. FANAAR could be another for Jim Crowley and his retainer as he can be forgiven his latest run at York, where he missed the break. His win at Leicester in May suggests he;ll handle any give in the ground.
