Attainable could be open to all sorts of improvement on his first start as a three-year-old and although his form also supports a strong challenge we prefer to side with BAGBER with Pyrus Time also on the shortlist for this maiden. The highest rated of those to have ratings the selection looks to set the standard having been in contention in all of his starts including a couple of near misses in handicap company. He handles this track and surface and at long last he should score. The pick is rated at 75 so Attainable's run ahead of a rival now rated 74 on debut gives him every chance. He also showed progression in his second run leaving the only doubt about his chances the fact we don't know if he's trained on. Pyrus Time is closely matched with the selection based on the official ratings and has been knocking on the door in every run this year. It's form that gives him a real claim but doesn't seem as strong as the picks. Bengal Tiger is probably looking for a vast improvement on his third run to score so in an ordinary looking contest Bagber looks the one.
