All seven can have a decent case argued for their chance but CABALLERO has shown improvement with each of his three starts and his latest run when a close second at Musselburgh suggested that the drop back to 6f on a sharp track would suit well. Callum Rodriguez claims a handy 3lb and the son of Camacho is preferred to Triggered, a smooth winner at Ffos Las last time in a manner indicating there's more to come from Ed Walker's charge. Aurag and Bengali Spirit provide Richard Fahey with a decent hand and Pearl Of Qatar doesn't look too badly treated on this nursery bow.
