Ramona Chase, Unnefer and Red Leaves are the three to concentrate on here and the vote is given to Ramona Chase. Sylvester Kirk's colt was hampered but still wasn't beaten all that far last time when sixth behind Sharp Nephew. This quicker ground will suit him and he can finally get his head in front. Unnefer has some solid form but he blotted his copybook with a below-par effort last time at Nottingham when he was a beaten odds-on favourite. He has questions to answer after that run and on that basis we will take him on. Red Leaves is related to Rock Of Gibraltar so this newcomer from the Paul Cole yard certainly merits respect on his debut and he is worth noting in the market. However, there should be more to come from Ramona Chase who is taken to score.
