A competitive leg of the Pick 6. Three of these runners all found one better on debut so it will be interesting to see who comes out on top. SANDS OF VALHALLA, a two-year-old colt, ran a cracker on debut two weeks ago and could prove best. PERIODIC TABLE did not attract any betting support on debut but did chase home an easy winner and is a year older than that rival. CAPTAIN COOPER was slowly away on debut so did well to get as close as he did to the winner and he deserves the utmost respect. HIGHWAYMAN HARRY is consistent and can also get involved with the finish yet again.
