Potentiale and Bollin Felix landed modest contests last time out and against another poor lot they could fight out the finish. Preference is for the first named, Astrolibra may come out best of the others. The selection's victory came over the ten furlong trip earlier this month. On breeding the extra quarter of a mile should suit and he could be the best option here. Bollin Felix won at the sixth time of asking when comfortably getting the best of Serpentaria at Nottingham. There could be plenty of improvement to come and he is an obvious threat. Astrolibra has shown plenty of ability in three races to date and doesn't look overburdened. Meanwhile Distant Sunset should step up on his recent return. Potentiale though has the course axperince and the recent form so he gets our vote.
