At this stage, Benvolio and Castletownsend appear to be two of the champion trainer's lesser lights but both are worth keeping a market watch on, especially the latter. However, the choice is FEAR GLIC, an Irish import for the Du Plessis team. He made a pleasing debut for the yard when just run out of things here by Wiffy Chatsby and was probably unlucky not to prevail as his rider dropped his whip going to the last. He can gain compensation now. Keenes Day is a possible if coming on here from his scheduled engagement at Cartmel on Saturday but Presenting Ace looms as a larger threat if putting his best foot forward, which hasn't always been the case. Warwickshire and Typhon De Guye are other possibles.
