A Teen gets the vote over Beverley Beau, Katie Killane and Maromito in the opener. A Teen has been quite consistent at this level over the past few weeks but has struggled to get his head in front for one reason or another. He again left his challenge too late last time over the course-and-distance, finishing a close second to Secret Vision but had Katie Killane behind in third and should maintain that form at least. Beverley Beau tried to make all over six furlongs at Redcar last time but folded inside the final furlong, so the drop back in trip should help, while Maromito has claims if able to track across from stall one. However, it is about time that A Teen got his head in front again, and we are prepared to give him another chance today.
