Fair Gale gets the vote in this maiden with Celtic Dragon and Call of Duty rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair second behind Bermacha last time out, that form has since been franked and with the drop in trip also looking to be in his favour he looks the one to be on. Celtic Dragon rates the main danger on his latest Fourth behind Cuban Missile but he will be handicapped after this run and that is where his future may lie. Call Of Duty is another that could go well as he is a well bred colt by Storming Home and will not need to be anything special so he should be watched in the market. Alcimedes is bred to be suited by a longer trip in time and with this in mind for the winner we return to the progressive Fair Gale.
