Star Of Wells has yet to figure and drops back down in trip but WELL PREPARED showed some promise on his debut when third at Leicester. He can confirm running with Zambezi Magic and go close with Ryan Moore picking up the reins. The others with experience have plenty of improving to do but Higher Kingdom is related to four winners and Cobnut is a half-brother to a couple of Listed winners so that pair make most appeal of the newcomers.
