A competitive nursery that can prove to be another winner in his quest for the title for Seb Sanders on board Richardthesecond, while Biased Opinion can be a contender too. The selection drops back in trip here and has shown early toe in a few races, so that should not be a major concern. First-time blinkers should help to sharpen him up and he does handle the surface, so we will take him to small stakes as he won't be found wanting from the saddle. Biased Opinion suffered for the draw at Folkestone last time but was not far away nonetheless and the colt has already shown some form here so cannot be discounted. Rio Rocket has dropped to the sort of mark from which she can be very competitive here and from a yard that has a strike rate of one from two with its runners here her chance is respected. Too Grand and Mister Beano are not without chances on their best but preference is for Richardthesecond.
