Verdict
Newsround gets the vote here ahead of Oeuf a la Neige and Drury Lane. Miss Mujahid Times returned for the season with a seemingly-improved all-weather effort. If she keeps it coming on Turf, she can go well. Laith's best efforts have come on the all-weather of late. Katie Boo's seasonal return was promising and suggested that there could be better to come. Guadaloup is fairly weighted based on his best 2006 Turf form, although it tended to come when there was juice in the ground. If Mark Brisbourne has got Miss Lovat back to her 2005 best, she would have to come into things, while Newsround likes it here and was placed off a two pounds higher mark over course and distance recently; give him some thought. Drum Dance is another to consider, as is Oeuf a la Neige who is now rated a pound below last season's good to soft course and distance win. Coalite has not yet lived up to early promise, while Drury Lane is just a pound above his six-furlong Catterick firm ground win of last summer so can be given some thought. Quick's The Word was beginning to prove consistent when last seen last summer and, with form at the track, could go well if stripping fit for his seasonal return. For the selection, though, we return to Newsround.
