A competitive enough affair, where the tentative suggestion is FRESH NEW DAWN. Fairly lightly-raced for Olly Murphy this gelding has looked like he is practically waiting to get off the mark in a race such as this, and having been dropped 2lb since his last effort at Market Rasen he can make this return to a slightly sounder surface a winning one. Smart Boy may be the biggest danger off a workable mark, while at a likely bigger price Miss Yeats may be capable of hitting the frame.
