Daragh Bourke has already won races round here with two new recruits this year (Our Dagger and Beaumadier) and good support for Neddies Boy would draw the eye. Letmeseethecolts pulled hard when bombing at a short price behind Flying Scotsman over C&D last time and is better than that, but the lightly raced MEDIA MOGUL is preferred, having shaped nicely when having bookmakers' best buddy Spectacular Style behind at Kempton three weeks ago.[Graham Wheldon]

String of short-priced defeats, blowing out as often as not, since winning a novice at 1-7 as a 3yo; maybe the return of the hood will help, down another 3lb, but his three previous runs on Tapeta were poor and he has it all to prove now.
Pleasing handicap debut, upped from an extended 1m to 1m4f, when having the disappointing Spectacular Style well behind at Kempton three weeks ago (hit traffic; third a winner since); has been dropped 1lb and that gave something to build on.
Ex-Irish gelding who won a weak C&D handicap, returned to blinkers from cheekpieces, easily a month ago (short-priced favourite Letmeseethecolts pulled away her chances); this is stronger off a 4lb higher mark.
Poor on the Flat, over hurdles and in one point start in Ireland, but was among the favourites for his new yard (did so well with new recruits last year) at Southwell recently and offered much more; has to be considered off the same mark.
Came away with a subsequent winner at Southwell in January and started odds-on over C&D last time off the back of it, only to pull hard and finish well held behind Flying Scotsman; player if she settles better.
