Collateral delivered an improved showing at Haydock when stepped up to 7f last time and is respected now, with a good chance of employing front running tactics again if desired from a low draw. It was hard to be impressed with MYBOYHENRY and the manner in which he scored over the C&D on his second start ten days ago. He looks a scopey sort destined for better things and is capable of another step in the right direction in landing this prize. Phoenix Lightning has been supported in previous runs without threatening to deliver but may have more to give in time while the newcomer Baileys Excelerate represents a stable in form and is well worth a check in the betting for confidence.
