Verdict
A runner-up at Newbury in both starts to date, ONE MORE WORD is the one to beat in this lesser company. His debut defeat by Toronado, a subsequent Listed winner at Ascot on Saturday, looks solid form and Charlie Hills' colt can get off the mark here. Dark Ocean should improve on his debut fifth at Redcar and is preferred to the more exposed Someone's Darling while better is also expected from Sennockian Star. The newcomer Greeleys Love cosy 105,000 dollars and it would be no surprise if he gets involved at the first time of asking.
