A lot of guesswork involved here as they are all debutante's, but Personify, African Emperor and Tanzani are the three against the field, with the first named getting our vote. Saeed bin Suroor has a very good batch of two-year-old's and this son of Sunday Silence could be another potential stable star. He cost a whopping 250 thousand guineas as a yearling and is related to a couple of very good juvenile winners. an extra furlong or two may be needed in time but he could be sharp enough to win this evening's event. Tanzani is impeccably bred by Giants Causeway out a daughter of American champion Seattle Slew. Trainer Clive Brittain usually has a couple of smart juveniles in his camp so watch the market for clues. African Emperor is one of the cheapest purchases in the line-up but unlike most of these is bred for speed and could go well for his astute handler. As with any race of this nature the betting market will prove invaluable, but without that privilege we will plump for Personify.
