THE HATCHET (3) is a two-start maiden who returned last time and finished fourth at Ayr over 3200m, beaten 5.5 lengths. Fitter for that outing and is a great chance to break his maiden status. GOLDEN WHIRL (4) faced the starter for the first time and finished fifth last start at Market Rasen over 3300m, beaten 15 lengths. Can improve sharply and is expected to feature. PORT STATION (2) is on debut. By Casamento and hails from the Iain Jardine stable. Watch for a betting push. LESTER MAIL (6) finished out of the money on debut two starts back then was beaten 7 lengths when sixth in a 3250m contest at this track seven-and-a-half weeks ago. Likely improver with strong prospects.
