Bookiebasher Dude can make experience count here, with Gower Belle, Ever Hopeful and Stellar Rose seen as the main dangers. Bookiebasher Dude has been unfortunate to find one or two too good on each of his last four starts, and on the evidence of his latest second to the fancied Good Gorsoon at Bath, he should make a bold bid to open his account, despite being more exposed than most. Gower Belle does not seem to be improving too much on the evidence of her latest fourth at Bath, but she should at least maintain placings over Ever Hopeful on today's terms. Stellar Rose hails from a yard doing well with its youngsters, and she can only improve for a quiet Salisbury debut. She is entered for a big sales race at Ascot later this month, so should not be underestimated. However, Bookiebasher Dude is more the finished article than a lot of these, and can make that count under Seb Sanders.
