2.00 BARN OWL; 2.50 WIRKO (GER); 4.50 EVALUATION; 6.00 FIRST LIGHT; 8.00 TICK TOCH; 11.00 AND BETTER OTHERS.
WIRKO only found one too good on his debut at Wolverhampton a couple of weeks ago and Charlie Appleby's colt should be very hard to beat with that experience now under his belt. Barn Owl took a big step forwards last time and the son of Frankel could give the selection plenty to think about if finding some more improvement. First Light is a newcomer to note being the first foal out of a Listed-placed mare, while Crane is from the family of the dual Oaks winner Sariska.
