With a number of top stables holding entries, the market is likely to prove a major guide and SPEEDY MOVE could just prove to be up to the task. Highly tried in maidens at Haydock, York and Newmarket, the Ifraaj colt showed plenty of speed during his time in maiden company and he may turn out to be better than nursery class in time. Kieren Fallon is a rare booking for Richard Hannon so the former champion jockey's presence on Simply Magic makes some appeal. Any support for Elizabeth Ernest should be followed. Richard Fahey's filly was a very cheap purchase by the stable's standards and the Malton-based trainer has gone to the trouble of booking Cam Hardie to take a valuable 5lb off. Baileys Pursuit does at least know how to win a race having bagged a seller at Yarmouth and Emef Rock appears best of the rest.
