Harbour Blues ran with plenty of promise on a softish surface on his Yarmouth debut last week and has to be respected but Clive Brittain's colt is unlikely to represent much in the way of value and preference is for Sheik'n'knotsterd, with Tiger's Rocket looking the pick of the remainder. The selection has run well in all three starts so far and deserves to get his head in front which he may well be able to do here, using his experience to good use. Andrew Balding's Star In The East has shown promise in her three starts but needs to improve to trouble the judge, while The Betchworth Kid would need to step up on his debut effort if he is to get involved. Tiger's Rocket stepped up on his debut form over five furlongs when stepped up to six furlongs last time and there should be more to come over the extra furlong today but Sheik'n'knotsterd has solid claims and he gets the vote.
