Supporting 20-race maidens can sometimes be a fool's errand but BALGOWAN has been knocking on the door of late and would've probably gone close but for encountering traffic problems at Wolverhampton last time. He is taken to gain compensation here and, in the process, shed that long-standing maiden tag. Fiftyshadesaresdev also has a serious chance on the back of his solid Newcastle effort and Leon Trotsky, successful over this C&D last month, is another for the shortlist.
