James Park Woods didn't deliver what was expected on debut at Doncaster, but still shaped well, and it's interesting that connections reach for a tongue tie now. He should go well, but preference is for KNOWING, who looked promising when third at Lingfield, and will improve for that experience. Times Past is most interesting of the newcomers due to his trainer's excellent strike-rate.
