Those with racing experience make limited appeal and this may go to one of the newcomers with preference for Twelve Paces over Silver Sister; Coeur d'Alene is rated the pick of those to have raced previously. The selection is well related son of Double Trigger trained by Martin Pipe, who is more than capable of producing one to win first time out and it would be no surprise to see him do so here. Jazz City showed a modicum of ability on his Stratford debut and is entitled to come on for the run as is Coeur d'Alene, for his run at Uttoxeter. Daihannah has the edge in experience having run in a couple of point-to-points prior to his rules debut at Worcester. The newcomers would not need to be out of the ordinary to win this though and with Jimmy Frost's Silver Sister making limited appeal, the vote goes to Twelve Paces.
