This won't take much winning and NO PLANNING is fancied to go one better than when a close second to Find A Key on his debut over C&D last month. Always prominent that day, the four-year-old kept on well up the straight and clearly has ability. The danger is probably newcomer The Weatherman, who is a half-brother to the stable's bumper and hurdles winner Dorabelle. Fellow debutant Darnborough is a half-brother to winners on the Flat and over jumps but only cost 1,000gns as a yearling so the market will probably indicate what is expected of him here.
