This should be a formality for PREMIER BANKER who can see off King's Chorister and Key Of Fortune. Jeremy Noseda's colt made an impressive winning debut at Lingfield. He cost 50,000 gns and he was easy to back that day; there should be more to come and he sets a good standard for the others. King's Chorister had a couple chances prior to being well beaten when last seen on Tuesday at Southwell. He has hinted at ability, but he will have to show significant improvement to win this. Key Of Fortune was well beaten on her racecourse debut at Fairyhouse back in June and although she should come on plenty for the experience, she does have a lot to prove on her all-weather debut. It will be a surprise if the newcomer Fire Me Gun is good enough, and a safer bet looks to be Premier Banker who looks the banker on the card.
