Isola Madre and Polyquest are two interesting newcomers and should be watched closely in the betting, however we will side with experience and plump for Snake's Head. John Dunlop's filly chased home Golden Balls on her debut before contesting a much better contest at Goodwood won by Cumin. This looks a much easier task and she should lose her maiden tag this afternoon. Mark Johnston's Isola Madre is a well bred daughter of Rainbow Quest related to numerous winners and she will know her job first time out. Paul Cole's horses continue in good form and so Polyquest, a half sister to the smart Saddler's Quest, has to be given every respect. Capel Island could be the pick of the three Hannon runners but on this occasion we will stick with the form horse and that is Snake's Head.
