Reggie Bond was very green on his debut at York and can improve considerably while Noosa Sound defied a starting price of 150/1 with a very good effort on fast ground at Thirsk. Dark Ocean had shown a bit of promise on his debut at Redcar and reaped the benefit with a very good run behind One More Word at Ayr. Both runs were on soft going but there's no reason why he shouldn't handle quicker ground. The expensive Lamusawama ran well for a long way at Epsom and he's expected to be in the shake-up and Richard Fahey's newcomer Wyldfire has a very nice pedigree being by Raven's Pass out of the Group 3 winner Miss Sally. AL MUKHDAM went to Newmarket for his debut and looked in need of the experience but showed very good speed and was in the lead at the Dip before fading close home. With that under his belt he looks the one to be on here.
