Verdict
In what looks a pretty decent maiden Aalsmeer looks a decent benchmark might be a little exposed in this company so instead we turn the progressive AVONSIDE with Godolphin's promising Mutafajer looking dangerous.Having stepped-up on his debut run to miss out by just a neck last time out the pick shouldn't ne botherd by the faster ground and Seb Sanders is an interesting jockey booking. Mutafajer was progressive as a two-year-old and beat home a dual subsequent winner on his final start of last season. He should progress again but we'll wait to see if he's trained on and the fact the visor has been reached for is a bit of a worry. Aalsmeer carries an official rating of 92 mainly thanks to her close up second in listed company on her second start. She was well beaten in a Group Three last time but back at this level has every chance. Danehill Sunset ran a promising debut and from good stock he should improve but Avonside looks value to improve again and get off the mark.
