This does not look to be the strongest of races but Tom O'Brien is clearly a young jockey going places very quickly and his presence on My Good Lord is good enough to earn George Moore's gelding the vote ahead of Willywont He and Hatton House. The last mentioned represents the McCain/Craine partnership that has had plenty of success over the last year but he would need to improve on all known form to trouble the selection. Alpha Juliet has been well held in recent starts, while Cadeaux Rouge gave little sign for encouragement on her recent return. Willywont He is less exposed than most and has to be considered on his handicap debut, while Step Perfect looks the lesser of George Moore's two runners and preference is for stablemate My Good Lord who is taken to gain an overdue success under one of the leading conditional jockeys.
