Genethni is taken to follow up a recent victory, with Atephobia and Llab Nala the main rivals. Kevin Ryan's charge only landed a Catterick seller on her debut, but did it in good style and she should be capable of repeating that effort in this slightly better company. Atephobia has taken on much better opposition in maidens and handicaps and it would be no surprise to see him go close this afternoon. Llab Nala has also managed a selling success in his first campaign and is he cannot easily be discounted. It is a race to treat with caution as Seventh Cloud and Miss Willoughby have also shown form in better company. However Genthni has plenty of scope for further improvement and she gets our vote.
