This does not look to bet the strongest of sellers and Warlingham looks the percentage call and is preferred to Fulvio and Magic Amour. The selection has been running consistently well in similar grade of late and a reproduction of recent form should suffice under conditions that suit. Fayr Firenze had to drop into a maiden claimer to finally open his account and even this looks tougher so a bigger threat is likely to come from Magic Amour bounced back to form over this trip at Leicester last time and has to be respected on that form. Cayman Breeze is held by the last mentioned on running that day, while Panjandrum has given little sign of encouragement of late. Fulvio showed improved for behind Warlingham over course and distance on his most recent start and is not without a chance of reversing that form but Paul Howling's gelding is in good heart at present and is taken to come out on top again.
