In depth
Verdict
Scenic is improving and she ran well for fourth here last month but TAGABAWA will have learned plenty from his debut victory at Wolverhampton and can defy a penalty. Of the newcomers, Albany is by Lope De Vega out of a Park Hill winner so will probably want further but Free Lovin' is a half-sister to a Listed winner and the US-bred Wigmore Street is a half-brother to two winners. It's Marvellous, a half-sister to two winners, and Baileys Khelstar, a half-brother to three winners, are also worth a second look.
