Charlie Appleby could probably win a race with the stable cat at present so HILLS AND DALES has to be the pick after a very good run behind the odds-on Dancetrack at Leicester. He still didn't look fully wound up that day and the run should have brought him to concert pitch. Mount Tahan ran very well for a 33/1 chance in York's Convivial Maiden Stakes, which is invariably a good guide. With further progress guaranteed he'll give a good account along with Vegas Rebel, who has had his chances but has never been beaten far and is probably running over his optimum trip. Cadeau Magnifique will improve from his opening run at Newcastle and The Kurator has more speed in his pedigree than the remaining newcomers.
