Verdict

MIA FANTASIA was a promising winner on his racecourse bow at Carlisle, learning plenty on the job before going away from the opposition. Hugo Palmer's colt is expected to take a decent step forward and that may prove to be enough. Dr Rascal won nicely at Leicester and appears to be an obvious threat, while Salisbury runner-up Rising Tiger and newcomer National Pride head the remainder.

Top Tip: Mia Fantasia (2)
Watch out for: Dr Rascal (1)

The two previous winners, Mia Fantasia, who represents last year's winning yard and picked up strongly to score with a bit in hand on his Carlisle debut, and Dr Rascal, up late from off the pace to strike at Leicester on his sole start, are both worthy of maximum respect and success for either wouldn't shock, but it's RISING TIGER who earns the vote. Andrew Balding's son of Minzaal showed up really well over 6f on his debut at Salisbury and, as a relation of multiple winners over 1m-plus, he ought to be well served by the extra furlong of today's contest. He's also receiving weight from the two already mentioned.
