With Martin Harley claiming 3lb, it would be no surprise if Epsom second Represent proved the pick of Mick Channon's pair ahead of Pitt Rivers. Personal Touch should do better back over 6f after getting outpaced over the minimum at York last time but I'll Be Good has had plenty of chances and Whip It In was well beaten at Catterick on Saturday. Mark Johnston does well with his juveniles here and SWITZERLAND, a 120,000gns yearling, may well prove above average and can make a winning debut even though he'll need further in time.
