Professor Pesca finished in front of Treble Glory at Beverley on his earlier debut and steps up in trip but SOUND PRESSURE looks the one to side with in this opener. The latter made a promising debut when third over today’s distance at Haydock and can only improve on that. Desert Silk is a half-sister to several winners and is preferred to Aihawawi while Optician looks first choice ahead of stablemate Braveheart Boy representing last year’s winning yard.
