Willie Haggas and Daniel Tudhope are a combination to note and the stable do well here. Martineo won handsomely last time but ran to a rating that would put him in the mid-80s at best. In contrast NEW GRADUATE forced a 100-rated rival to pull out all the stops here on debut when finishing well clear of the third. The winner has upheld the form since and the selection would be expected to improve for the experience. It will take something above-average to beat him. The form of Preening's Kempton success has been boosted since but she will need to arrive fit and ready and she probably wants further.
