U A E STORM showed a lot of promise on debut and we opt for him to win this race ahead of September Draw who represents a yard in excellent form with their juveniles whilst Nothing To Hide has improved in each of his three starts so far and could challenge if improving again today. The selection was second on his first outing on the all-weather at Kempton and starts on the turf for the first time today. He stayed on nicely last time in the final furlong and was only beaten by an expensive Godolphin option. David Simcock's entry in this race is likely to benefit from that experience and with a better run can see off the opposition. September Draw has to be respected on debut for the Richard Hannon yard with her dam a juvenile winner in the US. Nothing To Hide was outpaced last time out over six furlongs at Lingfield but did well to get second and is worth consideration. In an open contest to kick off the card we prefer the attentions of U A E Storm.
