VEGAS BABY, Mythical Blue and Creshendo are three against the field here and we will side with the first-named. Jamie Osborne's filly will relish this firm ground and went well enough last time out in this grade at Lingfield. The drop back to this trip and the application of first time headgear looks a move well worth trying by his trainer and we will take the hint. Also sporting blinkers for the first time is Creshendo, who won a soft ground Goodwood maiden on debut last year and comes here after a couple of quiet runs so far this time. If the headgear has the desired effect then he could go very close. Mythical Blue won a couple of handicaps last summer but was pitched into selling company for his reappearance at Folkestone last month. He clearly has the ability to get involved at these weights, but he does have to prove he gets home beyond 5f. White Shift acts on the ground and hails from a yard going well, but she too has to prove she has enough stamina for this extra 161 yards and with little else appealing in a poor contest we'll side with Vegas Baby.
