Nivaldo won at Ffos Las in September but has no easy task under a penalty with several of these likely to be winning soon including ORIGINAIRE (NAP). The latter finished a creditable third here on his debut given the first two home are rated 89 and 94 and that looks strong enough form to land this. Oliveto was beaten only a neck at Wolverhampton on his debut and Silent Hunter wasn’t far behind the winner when only fourth at Lingfield. Of the newcomers, Mackaar is an early Derby entry and Beychella is related to five winners and preferred to Shawaaheq.
