Penicuik, Dana Music and Dolce Dovo look the main protagonists in this maiden with the narrow vote going to Penicuik. The selection is a well bred sort by Hernando, hails from the in form Mark Johnston yard and will not need to be anything special to make a winning debut. Dana Music rates the main danger on his latest third behind Cry Presto but he looked very one-paced on that occasion and he may be seen to better effect in handicaps. Dolce Dovo is another that could go well on his best form but he has had plenty of chances in similar races without taking one and again he looks opposable. Of the remainder, Rickety Bridge is from a shrewd yard and is worth a cautionary look in the market but the suspicion is he will be better for the run and with this in mind for the winner we are happy to return to the well-bred Penicuik.
