All Action took advantage of a drop in grade to get off the mark at Brighton in October. He is still relatively unexposed and could improve further this year but so should MODUN. Sir Michael Stoute's King's Best gelding is closely related to the smart Islington among others and only a lack of experience cost him his unbeaten record at Kempton in the autumn. Significant Move was a progressive three-year-old and doesn't look badly treated in his first handicap, while Satwa Moon is usually thereabouts and had probably gone over the top when well beaten on his final outing of 2010. Bourne won his only two starts last year, beating Rock The Stars at Doncaster in October, and is probably the pick of the remainder.
