Walk In The Sun is an interesting newcomer who fetched a big price and has attracted the services of Ryan Moore for his first ride of the year. That warrants a check in the market, however he is highly tried in this against two previous winners from in-form yards. First Contact beat a poor lot at Newcastle but is likely to prove better than the form suggests. GHOST SERGE is hard to oppose on form having won two races and going close in a French Listed contest. There is nothing flattering about a BHA rating of 96 and he clearly goes well fresh. It will take something special to beat him.
