Unless Paul Blockley's newcomer Lin In Gold proves to be out of the ordinary, this looks to be a virtual match between Little London and Sun of Speed with preference for the latter. The selection has shown steady improvement in all three starts, latterly chasing home the useful Putra Sas in a York maiden a week ago. A reproduction of that form should be sufficient to beat Little London, who disappointed when favourite for a maiden at Lingfield over this trip last time. The son of Bahhare is probably capable of better than he showed that day but makes less appeal than Amanda Perrett's colt. Luca Cumani's Redi is held by the selection on running on the Knavesmire and is difficult to fancy. Russalka showed signs of ability on her Salisbury debut but needs to improve to beat Sun Of Speed.
