Walklikeanegyptian looks the pick of the experienced runners but we will take a chance on the debutante Libgatt, with Fisola another to consider in a tricky opener. Marcus Tregoning has hit a rich vein of form and Libgatt can add to the trainers recent victories. He looks the part on paper being a son of Mark Of Esteem out of a Cadeaux Genereux mare, and will no doubt know his job at the first time of asking. Walklikeanegyptian has put in two promising efforts in good company and as with most Richard Hannon's runners he should improve with racing. Fisola is a daughter of Fasilyev, and this 35,000 guineas purchase comes from a yard that is very capable of getting first time out winners. The market will prove invaluable here, but without that knowledge we have to side with Libgatt.
