Verdict

Tutto Bene is likely to come on for his debut run but we will side with debutant BORN TO PERFORM. The selection represents the bumper specialist Alan Swinbank and will doubtless know his job well before setting hoof on the racetrack. Related to some good stock, this trip is ideal for starters and provided he handles the going he will do for us. Tutto Bene has been given plenty of time since showing some promise in a similar contest here in November. This better surface might well suit and he will give a good account. Isitcozimcool comes from a yard that does well in this sphere and pedigree suggests that he will be at home on this ground, and the same comments apply to the Nicky Henderson-trained Hopeand, of whom the market will probably be a very good guide. Born To Perform can hopefully live up to his billing.
