Thomas Hawk has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. PRINCE OF MERCIA (4) knuckled down strongly when finished half a length from the winner at Sale. The blinkers go on and looks a strong winning chance. CHARGING AHEAD (10) is a three-year-old filly from the Mick Price & Michael Kent Jnr. Stable on debut today. Has the profile to be competitive. ULTIMATE MAN (7) backing up quickly after placing 10 day ago running third at this track. Should be close to top and has claims for the minors. VITRUVIUS (8) is first-up after a five month break and was placed on debut. Look for a big run here fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sticking with Prince Of Mercia.
