Rasseem and May Morning are the two that really catch the eye and we give the narrow vote to May Morning. The selection made a pleasing debut when fourth behind Dancing Rose on her debut over 5 furlongs at Bath. She shaped as though an extra furlong would suit that day and as she gets that here she looks to have a great chance with further improvement likely. Rasseem finished behind our selection last time but did not handle the softer surface that day. She should do better here but she is not as well drawn as our choice and she will have to improve to reverse the placings. Kindling is a well-bred filly from the Mark Johnston yard, and that stable has fared much better with their first time out 2-year old's this season so she has to noted in the market. A similar watching brief on the market is advised for the David Barron newcomer Nepal, but we will stick with May Morning as our idea of the winner.
