GLIDE DOWN represents last year’s winning yard and found only one too good at Salisbury on his debut. The winner has subsequently placed in Listed company and that looks the strongest form on offer. He’s preferred to stablemate Sonning but Adayar looks a threat on his debut fourth over track and trip. Marselan may improve on his second outing after wind surgery and Moneykenny finished in front of several of these when sixth here. King Francis and Fiftyshadesofred may prove best of Roger Varian’s four newcomers with Smooth Connection another to note.
