CALIBAN (4) indicated plenty of promise when fourth behind some useful performers over 1m3 1/2f at Haydock on debut during April. Racing for trainer Andrew Balding and could have improved both mentally and physically for that initial experience. Looks the one to beat back from a break. The nicely-bred Ghaiyyath newcomer VOLCANIC ROCK (8) represents a yard that can ready one first time out. It would be foolish to ignore his claims were he strong in the betting. PARTICIPLE (9) brings an experience edge on rivals and cannot be dismissed with the first-time tongue-tie fitted following a second-place finish at Chelmsford (1m2f) recently. SIOUXFONIC (3) heads the remainder.
