In depth
Verdict
Tenhoo finished second over a shorter trip at Pontefract last week but no wins in 16 starts tempers enthusiasm and a chance is taken on NAYESSENCE. He registered both his wins on the Polytrack last April and Mick Easterby's charge could well take advantage of a 10lb lower mark back on turf for his seasonal debut. It's hard to make a serious case for any of the remainder, but Fossgate had just the one outing last year and is only 2lb higher than when winning at Ripon back in 2009 and better is expected of Falcun on only his sixth start.
