Tourism is taken to land this at the expense of Clovis and Evelith Regent. The selection has his debut for the Johnson yard who have had their debutantes in fine form this winter. Most of his rivals look exposed on what they have achieved to date and as this looks as though it wont take much winning we are happy to side with the newcomer. Clovis is the stables other runner and on jockey bookings it is difficult to know which is the first string. He looks a little exposed with seven runs under his belt and has been struggling to trouble the judge so the market will be worth monitoring for clues. Elevith Regent is another newcomer who comes from a yard that can ready them first time of asking so is worth noting but for the winner we are happy to return to Tourism.
