It was pleasing to see BANKATARY come from a less-than-ideal position when getting the better of Crack Ops on debut at Huntingdon and while it should be closer between them given that the latter is now armed with a 7 lb pull, James Owen's charge is taken to emerge on top once again. Indeed, he is open to improvement and looks a decent prospect. Faithful Guardian is the most appealing of the newcomers and is one to monitor closely in the betting.
