Avertitop is preferred to Alexander Nepotism and Shipboard Romance. The selection was metaphorically mugged on the line at Windsor on his latest start and it would be unfortunate if compensation doesn't await here. Blessed with early pace, punters can expect to see him in the firing line from the off. Alexander Nepotism shaped with a degree of promise on debut. She holds entries in the big sales races so it would be no surprise to see improvement. Shipboard Romance lost all chance at the start at Nottingham by swerving wildly from the stalls. There was plenty to like about the way she finished and she has to rate a player here. Hobson is a cheaply bought son of first season sire, Choisir while Lord Of The Ring is bred to stay further in time. In Uniform is a close relation to juvenile scorer, Scarlet Ribbons and is likely to be a decent price. Avertitop can make experience count and is put up as the recommendation in our opener.
