Fast Charlie wasn't beaten far when fourth at Wolverhampton last time with idle Talker well beaten while What Could She Be is preferred to stablemate and newcomer Exclusive Diamond. Crusading is the only one of these with experience of the track and though well beaten over mile may improve along with Moving Upwards. But DANSEUR NOBLE did not fare too badly on his racecourse debut at Wolverhampton and he gets the speculative vote given James Tate's decent strike rate with two-year-olds at this venue.
