Son of Ulysses made a promising start when a 40/1-fourth of 12 in C&D novice on debut, nearest finish. Excuses at Newcastle since so worth another chance.

Forecasts

Song N Dance (11/10), Symphony Of Joy (11/4), Neptune Street (4/1), Treasure Islands (11/2), Pulsar Star (14/1), Stoneywell (80/1), Limonata (100/1), Rory's Royale (125/1), Optimistic (250/1)

SYMPHONY OF JOY is worth another chance to confirm the promise of her C&D debut fourth in July. Song N Dance showed big improvement when runner-up at Lingfield and looks capable of winning a race of this nature. Neptune Street is a half-brother to connections' very smart 9f-10.5f winner Spirit Dancer so is a newcomer to note.
