Verdict
Most of these would struggle in selling company, so it is hard to see many of them making an impact at this level. Stepastray has been beaten over various trips, but he has at least shown bits and pieces of form and could be one for the minor honours. Selling hurdle winner Win A lot is another to consider for the places as is Bosphorus, who shaped with plenty of promise in a maiden over course and distance. He is sure to have learnt plenty from that effort and should provide the main danger to Parachute, for whom Sir Mark Prescott has found the right opening. A big rangy type, he will get the stronger handling he looked to need, now that Wendyll Woods takes over from an apprentice and he can make the most of this opportunity.
