Present Gesture and Changing Lanes stand out for us in the bumper with our preference being for the former. Best of the rest might prove to be Posh Emily. Changing Lanes is an obvious player, having cost 28,000 guineas and racing for Jonjo O'Neill and J P McManus. Although she was cheaply acquired, it is interesting to see Mick Quinlan running Nomore and she should be noted in the betting, while Posh Emily showed promise on her debut when fifth behind Tuppence A Bag and is entitled to respect. Alan Swinbank's 52,000 euros purchase Present Gesture is another obvious contender and Roger's Accordion also fetched some money at the sales. The betting should possibly tell us more but, once again, for the selection, we will stick with Present Gesture
