In depth

Verdict

A couple of interesting newcomers here in Love On The Rocks and Mageniken, but we will side with the once raced Carillon. Mark Johnston's filly showed speed on her Ayr debut, but when the winner stretched she could not go with her, and her rider accepted the situation. She still finished a clear second, and will be all the better for the experience. It is no surprise to see her stepped up to 7 furlongs. Love On The Rocks is a well bred son of Hernando trained by Kevin Ryan. He will know his job first time up and he should be checked in the betting, partiularly in regards to stable companion Fadeyev. Mageniken is from a yard that pops up with the odd juvenile debutante winner and once again the market should guide. The best of the rest could be Kunte Kinteh, but we expect a much better performance from Carillon and she gets a narrow vote.
