      Verdict

      Sultans Way is selected ahead of Classic Contours and Feeling Fab. The selection was one of the more expensive purchases here and with the trainer having a 21% strike rate with his juveniles this term, we'll take Sultans Way to have improved significantly for his first outing. Classic Contours has been a tad disappointing in two starts. The trip does not seem to be a problem. Feeling Fab is the sole entry from a five-day battalion from the Mark Johnston stable. Inexperience got the better of her last month but there are races to be won with her. Sterling Castle has some good form behind Talking Hands to his name. He is one to note if the market speaks in his favour. Diesis Of Cloyne is bred to be better over further. Montmartre was heavily backed on introduction at Hamilton on heavy ground but did not exactly trouble the judge. The remainder look distinctly ordinary. Sultans Way is our pick in the opener.
