Given that Tokyo Jo might not run, the short list contains Jord, Picture Frame and All Talk, with the vote going to Jord. Picture Frame's third to Granny Peel in a seller on his debut gives him claims although, should she run, Tokyo Jo, who was entered to run at Catterick yesterday, could have her measure working on form lines with Granny Peel. However, Jord was only a neck and short head behind Tokyo Jo on her debut effort at Warwick, and even nominal improvement from that run should see her go well today. Again working through Granny Peel, who finished a length ahead of her at level weights at Redcar on April 17, All Talk must come into the reckoning, particularly as the faster going is more likely to suit her today. Finally, Mr Klick, Foxxy and Citoyen are ones that might improve for a drop in grade, while Nicana and Pirner's Brig are debutants with something to like on breeding but Emma Told Lies has something to find based on Granny Peel form. Once again, then, this returns us to the selection, which is Jord.
