In the opener, our shortlist contains Grand Prix, Land Ahoy and Topic, with the selection being Grand Prix. With Baby Strange having won at Ascot at the weekend, the form of Grand Prix's second to that horse at Bath last time has received a timely boost. He will not lack for experience today and he should go well. The newcomers The King And I, Billy Red, Dubai Builder, Land Ahoy, Up In Arms, The Jay Factor and Topic all have something to like about them, while Mogok Ruby's debut third at Kempton was not a bad effort. One of the already-mentioned horses seems likely to score, although keep an eye on the betting to be on the safe side, with our selection being Grand Prix.
