ANCIENT STATE (3) won at Wolverhampton (5f). Longer trip unlikely to cause any issues and he remains unexposed after just five starts. Strong claims. WOODHAY WHISPER (1) went close tackling the trip at Wolverhampton in a reapplied hood (retained) last time out. Only 1lb higher and bold run possible. ROCK MASTER (2) is another lightly-raced contender. Improved performance following a gelding operation when third at Chelmsford (6f). Might do better again with first-time blinkers added. ROYAL ACCORD (4) also enters calculations following a good run on turf last week. Lesser AW record where remains early days.
