Boy On A Swing gets the vote in this maiden with Spanish Diva and Piermarini rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair fourth behind Al Samha last time out when he was doing all his best work at the finish, he looks sure to appreciate this longer trip and he looks the one to be on. Piermarini rates the main danger as he hails from the same stable as Al Samha so they should know where they stand he has a good draw and he will not be far away but on official BHA figures he has a little to find. Spanish Diva was a fair fifth behind Tonnante when last seen and with the booking of Jamie Spencer catching the eye she should be watched in the market. Of the others Hoar Frost is sure to have learnt from her debut effort but for the winner we are happy to return to Boy On A Swing who sets a fair standard and looks the one to be on.
