THE STARBOARD BOW is the selection ahead of Wanchai Whisper and Enjoyment. The half-brother to Summer Of Love is obviously bred for further than this seven furlongs but his trainer is more than capable of having his runners tuned up first time out and as ever, the market is noted. Wanchai Whisper ran on with a degree of promise on debut over six furlongs. Drying ground might not be a help on breeding. Enjoyment is a half-sister to a number of winners in France. She is entitled to have come on for her first experience. Keyta Bonita was desperately disappointing when a beaten favourite last month though would be a big player on the basis of her Newmarket debut. The remainder don't look any great shakes so we return for our winner to The Starboard Bow.
