The market may provide us with some clues here, given that ten of the scheduled thirteen runners are making their racecourse debut, but tentatively we'll suggest one of those with experience and that's EXISTENTIALIST, with Billie Jean and Aegean Destiny interesting looking newcomers. Jonathan Portman's filly was a decent third on debut here last week, and should come on for that. She's boosted by a high draw again, and should be well supported. The other two to have run before are Country Princess and Silvee; the former didn't show any great promise at Bath last month while Silvee was last of nine at Goodwood. Billie Jean is well-related and cost connections a decent sum last month. Aegean Destiny is probably the pick of the two Richard Hannon runners, with Richard Hughes on board. The other is La Pantera with Pat Dobbs doing the steering. Neither cost much and could be absolutely anything. Any support in the ring should be noted, but in the absence of barely any form to go on, with minimum stakes we'll side with Existentialist.
