The obvious cliches about market movers apply here and the framing of the betting will be the best guideline. Teresa, an expensive purchase as a yearling, hails from a yard that can do little wrong at present and will be a popular choice to get off the mark at the first time of asking. As will Bendarshaan, whose yard have done well with three-year-olds this term. However, a tentative choice is the impeccably bred Springalong after an encouraging run from his stablemate, My Mellors, here yesterday. The ground should be ideal for Henry Cecil's charge if he proves to be a typical Gone West and can kick-start to the campaign for the former champion trainer.
