Fyelehk looks opposable with a host of unexposed runners in opposition, of whom we like the look of BUSSELL ALONG and Golden Pool. Rod Millman has his string in good order and Fyelehk didn't give his supporters a moment's concern when winning readily at Kempton but he has shown all of his best form at that track and this has the potential to be more competitive. Support for the likes of Fly By Nelly and King Of Defence should clearly be heeded given their trainers but neither jumps off the page on their form in maidens. Kyle Of Bute and Princess Rebecca are others to watch closely and we wouldn't be ruling Crystallize out in a hurry either whilst Golden Pool's run at Great Leighs in December hinted at the possibility of there being more to come. The pick, though, is Bussell Along who represents the yard responsible for last year's well backed winner and, whilst she may not be in that class, there was promise enough in her four runs last term to think that she can go close. Richard Hughes has a good record for a yard that has a decent strike rate here and Bussell Along is our principal contender.
