Verdict
None of those with a run have hit the frame which makes for something of a guessing game in the first division of this novice stakes. Richard Hannon has his string in great heart at present and both Good Job Power and Cheat have shown enough to suggest they'll prove competitive. However, it may be worth offering up another chance to ASCENSION. The Varian inmate was supported on debut in a decent Newbury maiden and it's reasonable to expect that the Dark Angel colt will come on considerably for the outing with the drop in trip also expected to suit. Ivadream, Aweemaweh and Roman Melody appeal as the most interesting newcomers.
