Ramatni may take some beating in this opener and she gets the nod ahead of Lekin Sedona and The Game. If truth be told, this doesn't look a strong contest and Ramatni comes here with the best form and the most experience. Mark Johnston's filly wouldn't want the ground to soften up any further but with brighter spells, and warmer times forecast, this Green Desert filly may take all the beating. Lekin Sedona made a pleasing debut at Beverley on desperate ground; he should be more at home on this surface and with nominal improvement looks a big player. Flashy Max and Novestar look the most interesting of the newcomers and should be watched for market support. Woodford Regen seems to be improving with racing, whilst The Game made a pleasing debut at Musselburgh and can be expected to improve on that run. This does look the easiest task for Ramatni however, and she gets the nod.
