Molly Moon looks best of those to have raced previously ahead of Silver Prelude but both look vulnerable to an above average newcomer and Tribute fits the bill. David Loder's juveniles can be expected to know their job first time out and the selection makes plenty of appeal on breeding being a Green Desert colt from the same family as the smart French sprinter Zipping. Fellow debutante Quidnet is bred to be speedy but her stable could be in better form and she looks worth opposing. Molly Moon has shown respectable form in three starts to date but is nothing out of the ordinary while Silver Prelude is progressing along the right lines but may have to settle for minor honours behind Tribute if the latter lives up to her breeding.
