Verdict

Red Cell is put up as the selection in the opener with Blow Your Mind and Chicken Momo looking the most obvious dangers. The O'Neill charge was obviously well fancied ahead of a recent outing at Southwell and although disappointing on the day, this looks to be a similarly weak contest and we offer him a chance of redemption. Blow Your Mind is bred for speed as a son of Mind Games and is related to plenty of juvenile winners. Chicken Momo was a cheap buy for Karl Burke and is watcxhed in the market. Transformation is related to winners over further. Dispol Toba may be the cheapest of these at the sales but Paul Midgley has sent out winners already this season so don't be surprised if she runs better than her sales price might imply. Red Cell is hardly bombproof as selections go but we will offer him another chance to get off the mark.
