CARLTON (4) made a winning stable debut tackling track and trip a week ago. James Owen does well with his new recruits and this gelded son of Frankel can defy the 5lb penalty to complete a quickfire double. THE RESDEV WAY (7) is in the right class and needs to be included having won over this distance at Wolverhampton during November. SMOKEY MALONE (3) ran well to finish fourth attempting 1m4f at Southwell last month. With the step up in trip no problem he could be thereabouts. Place claims go the way of ZOOKS (6).
