Trainer Tom Dascombe has started the new flat season with a tremendous record with his first time out two year olds so we will side with his contender ABOVE LIMITS over Radio City and Avon River who are both worth noting in the betting market. The selection is a nicely bred filly who comes from a yard that are doing well. She will have been put through her paces at home and should know what is expected from her first time of asking. It does not look the strongest of races and she would have to be know world beater to come out on top. Richard Hannon has the best win average of any trainer so far this season but he also has more runners than most. He trains two in the race but Avon River who ran with promise when finishing mid division on his debut at Bath looks the most promising of the two and with further improvement still to come he should be in the shake up come the business end of the race. Radio City is another to note on his debut. His trainer is well respected with all his early two year olds so any market support should be noted. However for the winner we return to Above Limits.
