In the opener, Dazed And Fazed gets a tentative call ahead of possibly Compton Fields and Vital Statistics. Now, Benllech was a good second to Captain Marvelous at Chester last week, and a repeat of that effort would give him a chance. Compton Fields has a likeable profile and gets a good mention, while, having cost 52,000 guineas and hailing from a good yard, Dazed And Fazed has to come right into calculations. The same stable also runs the 20,000 guineas son of Ishiguru, Dee Jay Wells. Longquan showed more than enough promise on his debut to have to be considered, while, having cost 150,000 guineas, Paul Cole's Strategic Prince has to be of interest, even though there is evidence of potentially staying a lot further in his pedigree. Barry Hills' Bahamian Love showed some promise on her debut, and Vital Statistics is a 54,000 guineas daughter of Indian Ridge, so certainly merits consideration. The likes of Buzbury Rings, Pas de Trois and Regal Ovation, who cost 22,000 guineas, should be looked out for in the betting and, in truth, the market should give you some guidance when it comes to making your choice, For what it is worth, we will side with Dazed And Fazed.
