Three Degrees looks to have the best form credentials here, but we will take a chance on the newcomer Le Chiffre, with Real Quality the other one that catches the eye. David Loder's colt is a well bred son of Celtic Swing, who cost 40 thousand euros as a yearling. This event will not take too much winning and with trip and ground likely to be ideal he is a sporting selection. Real Quality was runner up in a big field of maidens at Ayr last time, it was probably only a modest contest, but nevertheless he should figure in the finish again today. Three Degrees put up a very promising effort when a close up third at Nottingham recently and with the stable's juveniles invariably needing their first outing she could be the pick of the experienced runners. However the Loder yard are well capable of getting them ready first time out, so Le Chiffre is given the verdict.
