Fierce and Radio Goo Goo are the most exposed and have a similar chance at the weights on these terms. But BEELZEBUB improved to finish third at Lingfield last month and any further progress could see James Ferguson’s charge off the mark. Sofia Cat and Ertebat are other likely improvers while Baahill is a 130,000gns purchase worth noting along with fellow newcomer Fornham St Martin.
