An interesting contest with JUSTINEO getting the nod. His recent odds-on defeat took on a brighter hue when his conqueror, Saigon, landed the Listed Rose Bowl Stakes at Newbury. The son of Oasis Dream can score here if that form can be taken literally, although there are plenty of dangers. Grizzle went down by less than a length here on debut behind the more experienced Diamondhead who did him no favours in the closing stages by drifting. Sandbetweenourtoes ran no sort of race at Doncaster last time when strongly supported but the reported good ground looked far softer to racecourse observers. The form is best ignored. He showed masses on promise on his Newmarket debut in May and cannot be discounted. Watch the market for Roger Varian's interesting newcomer, Go Dutch.
