With the entire field having no experience on this unique surface this has the feel of a problematic contest for backers. Of the three penalised runners the strongest form is held by Strong Power who beat a debutant stablemate of fellow winner Maystar at Lingfield last time and now returns from a break. Maystar himself looked a little short of speed last time and would benefit from an extra furlong. One Bite returns to novice company having had excuses for his nursery defeat last time. Those three are respected but a chance is taken with promising youngster AUGUSTUS CAESAR who being by Speightstown should be suited by this surface having looked capable of better in his two starts so far.
