Liamba drops down a grade on her debut for a new yard but has yet to win over this far while Kraka’s earlier win here came over 6f. Holiday Magic never troubled the winner when runner-up over track and trip but YOUNG JOHN (NAP) was only beaten a nose over course and distance last time having tumbled down the weights and finally looks set for a return to winning ways off his current mark. Roong Roong finished closer at Redcar last time but was well beaten here before that but Peruvian Summer is not badly treated if improving for a recent return from a lay-off.
