Agent Basterfield was only beaten a head by Hypnos on his first start over this trip at Chelmsford and he can reverse the form as the winner was much more experienced. Love So Deep was suited by the step-up to this trip and fast ground when just getting up at Nottingham and a 5lb rise looks fair but Azets disappointed when well supported at Lingfield after a very promising comeback at Kempton. Kingdom Of Dubai is another who disappointed at Newcastle in February and makes his debut on Turf but SWISS PEAK could be one to follow off this very lowly mark as he showed the occasional glimpses of ability over 6-7f last summer as his dam has already produced several winners and won over 1m3f.
