Senatorial, Becausewecan and Jimwil make most appeal here and the vote is given to Senatorial. The selection is clearly no stable star but he looks to have been found a decent opportunity here to open his account and if he can settle better than he did last time out then he can take all the beating. Becausewecan was only narrowly beaten behind Sweet Smile last time on soft ground and if he handles this quicker ground then he should give our selection a race. He remains unexposed and he looks a contender. Jimwil finished third behind Classic Blade at Doncaster last time in a race that has worked out well. It will be interesting to see how he gets on today, while a market check on the newcomer Bella's Story is advised. An open race that can go the way of Senatorial.
