There are literally loads of horses that can be given a chance here, so we will keep it brief and select Ensign's Trick ahead of Digital and Jabbara. Ensign's Trick comes here on a winning mark and cannot be ruled out with his stable in form. Jabbara comes here seeking a straight hat-trick of wins and, clearly in good heart, can go well again. Digital responded well to a first-time visor last time when just beaten over five furlongs here and can go well if it works again. On literal form from that race just referred to, Dematraf, Endless Summer and Hello Roberto were all close up and cannot be ruled out of going well today. As we say, though, it is compeitive and these horses tend to win in their turn. Others that fall into the might go well' bracket are Musical Script, who is better than his finishing position suggested last time, and Minnie Mill, who is lightly raced and comes here on the back of a fair course run last time. Once again, though, we return to the selection, which is Ensign's Trick.
