Fastar would have decent claims if taking part but was due to run at Nottingham yesterday. Reign On and Mistime are both penalised for winning at Leicester and Chelmsford respectively with the former looking to have the stronger form but it could be the turn of TAP TAP BOOM in this. The latter has found one too good in both starts so far but went very close at Chepstow last time when clear of the rest and gets the vote on that form. King Of Spades and Cj Parker are likely improvers and Fire Brigade is preferred to Herm of the newcomers.
