Bryan Smart's juveniles are in great form and Guertino looks set to lose his maiden tag this afternoon, Shabnaam and Cat whistle may provide most danger. The seelction has shown plenty of ability in three races to date and chased home the well regarded Rose Ciog last time out. The third home gave the form a massive boost when winning at Haydock recently and so the form is rock solid. Cat Whistle is from the same stable as Rose Ciog and so has to be respected following a promising debut effort in a decent looking race at Haydock. Meanwhile Shabnaam comes into the argument having finished well to take fourth behind Lady Avenger at Windsor. The newcomers look nothing special and so it should go to the form horse and that appears to be Guertino.
