In the amateur event that opens the card, Foolish Groom is selected ahead of Music Celebre and Ermine Grey. Foolish Groom is reasonably weighted based on last summer's form and, having shown that he likes soft going, could go well in Warwick's opener. Music Celebre showed that he still has some gas in his lighter with a good third over course and distance last time on good to firm. His old Irish form showed that he likes juice in the going and he too can go well. Agilete has not been running too badly of late but has no soft-ground form, while Ermine Grey has certainly dropped to a mark from which he ought to be able to win and, again, soft going will hold no fears. Although he lacks a recent run, Band is on the mark from which he scored over a mile on soft at Nottingham in November, while Spring Time Girl comes here on the back of a fair Carlisle reappearance run and could well get involved. Of the others, Fateful Attraction could improve for today's easier going, Monashee River has dropped to a very fair mark but lacks soft-ground form, Adobe's latest win came over course and distance last June on good to firm but more-recent efforts have been inauspicious, Hows That is one to watch in the betting and a return to last summer's form would give Bahhmirage claims. Once again, though, the selection is Foolish Groom.
