Not much for us to go on here, but Jane Chapple-Hyam has her string in good form and we will suggest MIGHTY MAMBO, while Budva might be the biggest danger. The selection is by Fantastic Light, who won his first two starts as a juvenile, and is related to a number of two-year-old winners. This trip is not a bad starting point, and while he does of course have to prove himself on the surface, he should be fit enough to do himself justice in this moderate affair. Budva should come on plenty for his first run, when well beaten in a maiden over course and distance earlier in the month. Steve Drowne is up today, suggesting connections are looking for better, and we should note the market. Stablemate Nazreef is related to juvenile scorers at up to this trip and there is no reason why he should not show up well, although Hughie Morrison would perhaps not be best known for sending out debut juvenile winners. The latter applies to Mick Easterby, who saddles Whitby, and even though that yard is in red hot form you'd be hard pressed to see her winning after a quick look at her pedigree, so we will oppose. Stablemate Ever A Gent looks the more likely of the pair if the bloodlines are anything to go by, although jockey bookings confound that and we'll stick with Mighty Mambo.
