SUFI went close at Chelmsford in October and a couple of winners have come out of the race. The Hannon colt gets the nod on that form. Everything For You is another returning from a lay-off and could also figure in this company given Dalavida was still well beaten when third at Chelmsford last week. Magic Pass makes more appeal than the latter with last month’s modest debut effort here under his belt and Weloof can only improve on last year’s debut at Newbury where he finished last.
