Verdict
Norley compiled a progressive profile last season over a variety of trips but it's a question of whether he'll need this first run since November. KOLISI takes on his elders and connections reach for a tongue tie and first-time visor, having presumably felt cheekpieces did not have the desired effect last time. However, he seems to relish a busy schedule and looks sure to be in the shake-up with conditions to suit. Bannister surged back to form after a poor effort on his second start after wind surgery and it will be interesting to see if he can follow up having ending a low-key period. Glajou represents Neil Mulholland after leaving Paul Nicholls but was beaten in a seller latest and hat-trick seeking Noahthirtytwored is a likelier sort despite ascending the handicap after landing three of his last four starts
