Honest Deal may be entitled to progress in time given the pedigree and is watched on debut, with Crowned Supreme and Bernisdale worth avoiding until they get their noses in front as they haven't developed well. Tinzo was a long way behind on his first crack at racing but his dam was a juvenile winner over this trip and he could do better. This isn't the strongest of races, so Sabratha may be able to use her extra experience to her advantage. However, we side with FINE THREADS. This race has often gone to favourites and after starting slowly the selection stayed on well on debut. This was a promising first attempt and she looks to have been found a perfect opportunity to open her account. The two Mark Johnston runners are likely to pose the biggest threats. Coax was green on first appearance and should come on for the run with Jeu De Vivre who cost £90,000 rated a danger if she has progressed.
