Plenty of first starters engaged which muddies the map a little. It is fair to assume a solid tempo. NAUGHTY NEIL (2) started favourite and took care of a small field of maidens at Ipswich recently. Finding the line with purpose so an extra 100m here looks a suitable path. SPIRIT OF TORQUE (8) ran out a strong 1350m at Ipswich last start, beaten narrowly. Takes on better opposition this time but she is open to further improvement. BODMIN MOOR (4) is a Cool Aza Beel gelding on debut for the Munce stable and has come along nicely at the trials. Will pay to see what the market thinks of him. Bright start anticipated. MURKADO (5) is another debutant that holds claims, even more so with key scratchings. Draws to get the gun run and is worth including. SUGGESTED PLAY: Naughty Neil to win.
