Tawzeea ran promisingly in both starts as a juvenile over six furlongs, should improve for the step up to seven and Mark Johnston's colt gets the vote to open his account here being preferred to Jal Music and Magnitude. The last mentioned is bred to be useful being a brother to Mighty and a half-brother to Danehurst so the William Haggas-trained gelding has to be respected. Michael Bell complicates matters by saddling three runners with the daughter of Hawk Wing, Glitz, an interesting newcomer, while Ramprakash looks the pick of the two to have raced previously ahead of Profumo Affair. Ralph Beckett's Candida's Beau ran better at Kempton last time and has to be considered along with Jal Music, who has shown a reasonable level of form. Tawzeea is the clear form pick though and he gets the vote.
