Bould Mover should be wiser for his recent debut but there are some interesting newcomers including Alphachino, ISLAND EXPRESS and Anjomarba. We'll opt for Island Express as he represents a yard that has enjoyed a decent start to the year and has had a decent record with their juveniles in recent seasons. His sire was a precocious individual so there's a chance that he may be able to pass that on to his first crop of juveniles. Bould Mover was staying on well at Kempton at the weekend but was never in contention behind a fairly impressive winner; he should be able to build on that. It would be no surprise to see Alphachino put up a bold show whilst support for Anjomarba or the optimistically named Roi De Vitesse would be worth noting but a low draw could be an advantage and we'll take Island Express to make the most of it.
