Peter Chapple-Hyam has had a couple of winners of late so Cortesia may be of interest but Safqa showed plenty of promise on her debut as a juvenile and she gets the vote to make a winning return at the main expense of Green Room. The selection finished a creditable third on her debut over seven furlongs at Newmarket and there should be plenty more to come over today's longer trip. Roger Charlton's Shout has a decent pedigree and could be of interest first time out, while Ed Dunlop's Blessings Count is likely to need the run as most of the yard's horses improve with racing. John Dunlop's Green Room is entitled to improve on his one start as a two-year-old and is another worthy of a mention along with another son of In The Wings, Capriolla but Safqa has an obvious chance and she gets the vote.
