Only 5lb between the five runners on official ratings and SIOUXPERHERO is only a tentative selection. He was far from disgraced in the competitive mile handicap won by Curzon Line at Kempton in mid-May after a six-month absence and that effort should have blown away a few cobwebs. The consistent Devote Myself should appreciate the return to a mile and Nevaeh can't be ignored in a first-time visor. Mr Fong and Viscount Vert remain unexposed but the market may be the best guide to their chances.
