It may be telling that connections of ESTABLISH have chosen to revert to maiden company with him after he made such a promising handicap debut last time when staying on strongly under hands and heels to snatch third. He should be able to get off the mark at the fourth time of asking with his yard in fine form. The one who looks the most interesting for the future is the newcomer Capall who is nicely bred & it is notable that he is the pick of Sean Levey. Ajax Tavern may struggle to concede weight again, but he should be kept in the notebook for when he gains his handicap mark. Defence Girl should also be respected given the promise she has displayed thus far.
