Verdict

Racecourse experience could be the key to the opener here and while the top two have to give weight away to their rivals, they could prove a step ahead at this stage of their career. Minor preference is for TOMFRE who produced an eye-catching debut before staying on in game fashion to win at Newmarket last time out. Sword Beach gives weight to all his rivals but there's been enough to like about both his placed efforts to date to think he'll hit the frame here. Of the newcomers, Pop Dancer makes most appeal for a yard that won this last year.
  1. Tomfre
