Prize Point won well on his debut and he looks a good bet to follow-up here; Go Go Green and Queen of Thebes are the main dangers. Kevin Ryan's colt won well on his debut at Ayr when he got the better of Saif Al Fahad. He was well-backed that day and he broke smartly and ran out a comfortable winner. He has an entry in the Gimcrack Stakes at York next month and we think he will be up to landing this before going on to bigger and better things. Go Go Green showed plenty of promise on his debut but he was a little disappointing last time here and he has one or two questions to answer at present. Queen Of Thebes is well-regarded by her trainer and she did win impressively on her debut at Windsor. This slight step-up in trip should suit her and she is respected. Trainer Ian Williams sends both Fol Liam and Missus Christie to post so the market should be a guide to which one is fancied. This is a good race and we will side with Prize Point as the pick.
