This is an above-average bumper for the track and a few of these could go on to better things. Ex-pointer Mister Miyagi made a winning start under Rules over course and distance earlier this month but will do well to defy a penalty against several less-exposed rivals. Fair To Middling showed some promise at Market Rasen and may have more scope than Coup De Vent. Baraza and Rebel Collins are others to consider but a trio of newcomers catch the eye. Braavos is by Presenting while Holy Cross is Flat-bred, though also has plenty of stamina in his pedigree. BETTER DAYS is a half-brother to a three-times winner on the level and will know his job so gets the vote.
