That debut win from CRACKING GOLD looks even better now the second Native Approach has won in the style of a promising horse. He was keen enough that day but came through strongly and was always doing enough in the closing stages to win by half a length. He is obviously open to improvement and might be able to give weight and a beating to his rivals again here. Risen Again makes his debut and could be the danger if ready to go first time out.

That was a smooth debut success from PATH TO DUBAI at Southwell last month and if he improves again as expected he should make it 2-2 here. The fifth Strive won next time out so the form has substance. See That Storm looks the danger but he will go forward and could end up setting it up for the selection. Lord Chamberlain was slowly away on debut and stayed on for third. He should know a lot more this time around so is another one I can see getting competitive.
