Exit Smiling, Monashee Prince and Lerida look the three to concentrate on in a tricky opener and the vote goes to Exit Smiling . The selection is a half brother to the fair five to six furlong performer Due To Me, he is from a yard in form and he will not have to be anything special to win on his debut. Monashee Prince rates the main danger as he was a fair second on his debut behind Von Wessex. He is sure to have learnt from the experience and he will not be far away. Lerida is a half sister to the fair middle distance performer The Glow Worm but her pedigree suggests she may need a longer trip. Of the remainder Gifted Gamble is from a yard in form and is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Exit Smiling.
