ONEHUNDREDNEIGHTY was a beaten favourite on stable debut when fourth of 8 at Warwick in May, but he offered some encouragement by the finish and promises to be suited by this return to further. He gets the vote ahead of Crafty Gael, who could also fare better making second start for his current yard, with Bannister another one to note.
