Soul Sista may be capable of further improvement now trying six furlongs and receiving weight all-round she must be a player; however Mazzola was so impressive last time out at Brighton that he may prove hard to beat despite top-weight. The selection had shown plenty of promise over the minimum trip before scooting home over this distance at Brighton. The way that he travelled and then quickened clear that day suggested that he can once again score in the sea air today. Kate The Great disappointed last time out but she is still unexposed and it would be no surprise if she fared better today now stepped up to six furlongs. Similarly Imperial Guest can step up on his debut effort now upped in trip, and he is from a family that his trainer knows well, whilst the form of Lisburn's three runs stands up fairly well in the context of this race. Newcomers Secret Society and Suruor both need to be respected as they come from powerful stables who can ready a newcomer, and the market will help guide to their chances, however it is Mazzola who we fancy to land the opener.
