Pyffo was flat out to score at Haydock back in December and has shown a good attitude on both bumper starts. He should give another good account but IDEAL DES BORDES is narrowly preferred on the back of a comfortable success on his sole point-to-point start and has joined a yard with an excellent strike rate in such contests. The market may reflect stable expectations on this debut run but he should go well. Charmian's Place was beaten nine lengths on debut, but it was a pleasing first run and improvement looks assured for the mare who receives the handy sex allowance. My Fernando may need this after a lengthy amount of time off unless the market suggests otherwise, whilst Moon Chime, Solstice Saint and Onewaywest all hail from yards capable of getting one ready on debut.
