5/4
C&D debut winner in December and bettered that form when collared late on by Newsreader (who received 7 lb) back here. Capable of better again and bold show likely.

Strong at the finish when seeing off the reopposing Lessay by ½ length over C&D 32 days ago. Likely capable of better again but he is 5 lb worse off with Andrew Balding's charge this time.

€165,000 2-y-o by No Nay Never. Dam, 1½m winner, sister to high-class winner up to 1½m (including British/Irish Champion Stakes) Magical and Fillies' Mile/Lockinge Stakes winner Rhododendron. This newcomer makes obvious paper appeal.

Forecasts

Lessay (5/4), Not Afraid (11/4), Never Better (5/1), Newsreader (11/2), Thunder Flow (14/1), Spirit Of The Rose (25/1), Miss Oxford (40/1), Ormering Tide (66/1), Road To Wembley (80/1), Sold The Dream (150/1), Stacey Racey (250/1), Glad Hope (250/1), Amarilla Girl (300/1)

Verdict

LESSAY meets Newsreader on 5 lb better terms than when beaten a ½ length by him over C&D last month and is taken to turn the tables. Well-bred newcomer Never Better could pose a big threat to that pair if the betting suggests he's fancied, while Ralph Beckett's Not Afraid has the potential to leave the form of his 6f course debut well behind.
