We like the look of War Owl here ahead of Say What You See, Dash For Cover and Eastborough. The selection looked a horse to follow when romping home on Lingfield's Polytrack surface last time over today's trip from a mark of 57. Rated 59 back on Turf, the seven-year-old has form on this type of going and, with Lisa Jones taking a very useful three pounds off his back, ought to go well. Say What You See improved on the all-weather during the winter and, if he can translate that form to Turf, warrants consideration, while Frankie Dettori is an interesting booking for Castaway Queen. Watch the betting market for clues with regard to her as she will act on today's going. Of the others, Bluegrass Boy is the type to improve this year now that his stable is in better form, Eastborough has been in good form of late and merits respect, and Dash For Cover wasn't beaten far under similar conditions on his seasonal return at Folkestone nine days ago and could also go well, and much as Jack Durrance is a course and distance winner, recent efforts have been disappointing. The road, then, leads back to War Owl who is taken to win his second race in succession.
