Wilson Bluebottle is sure to be all the rage here but we'll side with Red Delirium ahead of that one, Air Of Esteem, Printsmith and Tinian. The selection hails from a stable in form and, a course and distance winner, Red Delirium, has a very good chance on the best of his form, so might just represent some value. The Mick Easterby-trained Wilson Bluebottle had the run of the race last time - at Wolverhampton - when gaining a comfortable win. If he is taken on today, he might not enjoy it quite so much. Air Of Esteem is a course and distance winner from a mark of 53, Maggie's Pet has been knocking at the door but remains a maiden. Mr Whizz has to improve on his course and distance win in January. Printsmith has a similar profile, although he comes here in good heart and should be competitive for a place. Rosti's winning run has come to an end it seems for now. Sandorra's first win came here last month but more is required here, while Temptation Island won over ten furlongs in his native Ireland but made no show at Wolverhampton last time on his British debut. Multiple German winner Tinian ran his best race in Britain last time and could possibly improve again, but Platinum Chief remains a maiden after 15 starts. An interesting race, one in which it might pay to side with Red Delirium.
