Race preview
STOKES was a close-up second at Sedgefield on his handicap debut and can reward connections here as he steps up in trip. The winner that day turned in a good display next time to give the form a solid look, and natural progression should help Ben Pauling's charge get his head in front. Thelasthighking makes his handicap debut and may confirm some of his early promise, while Confirmation Bias reverts to hurdling after pulling up on his chasing debut.
