In depth

Verdict

Minibule made a very pleasing debut and looks set to go close in this company but we prefer stable-mate Rosemauve who can beat Proud Peer and Chakra. Minibule was a modest performer on the flat in France and will be no world beater at this game either, but she will improve for her second behind Kawagino over course and distance. However Rosemauve could be better class having contested some valuable chase events at Auteuil over the past few months, he looks very interesting on his British debut. Proud Peer showed very little in bumpers before running a creditable third to Nyrche at Worcester on his hurdles debut, there should be improvement forthcoming and he looks the main threat to the selection. Chakra is regressing but still has some ability and could figure in the finish. Watch the betting market for a move on the newcomer Golden Dual, who was rated in the seventies on the flat last season. So a very tricky start to the card, but we will side with Rosemauve.
