Richard Hannon has won this for the past four years and is double-handed here. Mister Marc is very speedily-bred unlike stablemate Ronaldinho, whose dam won over 1m4f. Nile Knight is by Sir Percy so he should do better in time but the trip should be fine for Zanetto and the filly The Gold Cheongsam, though both may come on for the experience. Kimberella made a bright start behind New Pearl at Newmarket and may prove better than the twice-raced Strong Conviction, who looked as though another furlong would suit when runner-up at Bath. HOT DIGGITY is closely related to three winning sprinters and out of a mare who won over 6f. Peter Chapple-Hyam is an expert with two-year-olds and hopefully this one can do the business on his debut.
