Pillars of Wisdom, just touched off last time, can make amends, with Exhibit One, Mont Saint Michel and Dilala others worth a mention. Some of the big southern yards are represented here, but not with anything that has caught the eye too much to date. However, John Dunlop's runner Pillars Of Wisdom very nearly opened his account at Brighton 17 days ago. He took it up three furlongs out, but was caught right on the line by Vespucci, and a similar effort ought to see him go close again. Exhibit One seemed not to see out the mile and a half at Chepstow last time so the drop back in trip should help, while Mont Saint Michel has had plenty of opportunities, but did not run too badly at Newmarket last time. Dilala was sent off as favourite for a Beverley maiden last month, but looked one-paced over the seven furlongs and is worth a try over this trip, and Savoie is best watched on her return. Pillars Of Wisdom has more chance than most and can go one better.
