FILM SET looks a smart prospect and he should be up to winning this; Go Go Green and Tropical Paradise are the main dangers. The selection has only had the two runs and he went close on his debut before winning well at Newbury last time. He looks progressive and nominal improvement should see him tough to beat. Go Go Green is on the hat-trick mission and he has the best of the draw. He is making his all-weather debut so his ability to handle the surface has to be taken on trust but the yard are in form. Tropical Paradise did not get home over a slightly longer trip last time so this slight drop in trip should suit and she is another on the shortlist. Via Mia disappointed last time but she is better than that and she could be worth another chance. Film Set looks to hold rock solid form claims and he gets the vote.
