Tabaret is the obvious choice, with Sea Grain, Game of Love, Deserving and High Curragh others to keep in mind for the future This is an interesting contest in which Tabaret bids to back up the Titus Alone form, having finished third to Bryan Smart's top juvenile in the Windsor Castle Stakes at the Royal meeting a fortnight ago. Having found one too good on his debut here previously, Richard Whitaker's charge showed that he has ability when taking them along on the Knavesmire before fading behind the principals, and as he still looked green, the son of Bertolini can only improve. He is taken to make all, but there should be plenty to learn regarding the rest. Kevin Ryan boasts a good team of two-year-olds and unleashes High Curragh who is a half-brother to high-class sprinter Kyllachy no less, while Tim Easterby who won this last year with Wonderful Mind, relies on Game of Love, bred to useful but likely to be seen to better effect over further. Deserving is out of that very useful sprinter Superstar Leo so she should show good sped on her debut as well, but they will all have to go some to catch Tabaret on this occasion.
