Despite running green, South Shore almost justified favouritism at Ripon and will be fancied to recoup losses here but COVER POINT won’t be far away back in a maiden having bitten off more than he could chew in Listed company at York last month. Nazron also has every chance on the form book and has attracted market support in all three of his runs to date. He wasn’t beaten far over course and distance last time and is almost guaranteed to run his race again. Ziggy's Missile was third on debut at Bath but may already need another furlong.
