Idesia is our idea of the winner with Potentiale, King Of Rhythm and Bold Bobby Be likely dangers. The selection has made quiet progress in three runs in maidens and ran her best race to date when beaten just over 4 lengths behind subsequent Listed winner Saphira's Fire at Wolverhampton. The form of her second run at two is also working out quite nicely now and the drying conditions should enable this Green Desert filly to show her best. Potentiale is consistent but has proved rather frustrating and King Of Rhythm and Bold Bobby Be appeal as likelier winners. King Of Rhythm shaped quite well on his return to action at this track, has won on fast ground, is relatively unexposed and has Neil Callan in the saddle. Bold Bobby Be represents the Dunlop/McEvoy combination. He has clearly had his problems but he ran well enough last month and it would be a surprise if this half-brother to the smart ten furlong winner Big Bad Bob didn't have plenty more in the locker. We respect his chance but prefer Idesia
