FOX DUTY FREE looked in need of the experience when running with plenty of promise at Newbury on debut. That form was franked here earlier in the week and he's taken to improve to land this on just his second start. Molatham has to be of interest and he's another who has form tied in with a winner here on Thursday. Afro Blue and Dubai Mirage are two who showed enough on debut to be in the mix here while Western Hero and Gift Of Kings are a pair of Kevin Ryan newcomers who are worth noting.
