Poignant never threatened at Leicester on his recent debut so this looks at the mercy of one of the newcomers. Choice Encounter is a half-brother to a winner over 5f and could go well while Neola and Havana Grey are both first foals of winning sprinters and preferred to Snaffled. But Richard Fahey has made a fine start with his two-year-old runners this year and SIMMY’S COPSHOP gets the vote to make a winning start under Paul Hanagan.
