David Loder has got off to a flyer from his new stables and we will not oppose his runner Andean in this weak looking contest, with Premier Dream the obvious danger. The selection ran well for a long way on debut at Newmarket last July before being put away for the winter for his three-year-old campaign. This step up in trip will suit and indeed he will get much further in time, so we will side with him to get off the mark here. Premier Dream has the pedigree to do well at three and Mark Johnston can certainly ready them to win first time, it will be interesting to see how he looks in the paddock, but without the benefit of that here we are just going to oppose him on grounds of lack of experience and doubts about his ability to handle cut. He will surely have other days. Cesare also comes from a family and connections that merit plenty of respect, though he looks much more likely to get better as he matures and will surely need this debut outing. John Dunlop's filly Hasayis is perhaps more likely to go well, with two runs under her belt and plenty in the bloodlines to give us confidence over this trip and she could make the frame. However, the selection remains Andean, who can maintain Loder's good start to the campaign.
