IF will start a short-price for this and deservedly so. He went close to recording a shock win at Epsom a week ago when runner-up to Grevillea which puts him in a different league to today's opponents. Evacusafe Lady made the frame in a Class 6 maiden last time but both Nice Arty and Black Sceptre were beaten out of sight on their respective debuts. Giant's Legend won't need to be anything special to get involved on his debut and could prove a bigger danger to the selection.
