Ea can land the opener at the expense of Style Sunday and Dubai Builder. The selection is a newcomer from the Stoute yard and is well related and well connected. The stable are more than apt to ready them first time out so the market should be noted. Style Sunday will pose as the biggest danger to the selection and is another newcomer from a yard that has a good strike rate in these types of races. He is bred with plenty of speed in his pedigree so with conditions looking likely to suit he is worth noting. As is Dubai Builder is a horse with experience under his belt and his form is half decent with it. He improved from his debut to finish third of eight behind Okikoki at Chepstow last time out so has to be respected. But for the winner we return to the newcomer Ea.
