Foothill Road who won a maiden on his debut at Southwell, when defeating Suprerapparos is taken to maintain his unbeaten record. Richard Fahey's charge ran green on that occasion , has sure to have learnt from the experience and he will be hard to beat from what looks a good draw. Arabian Knight rates the main danger as he was a staying on third over this trip last time out. However he was doing all his best work at the finish on that occasion and this sharp track is not sure to suit. Whinhill House would have a chance on his win a couple of runs ago on the AW but he has never produced his best on turf. Caronte has a good draw and he has dropped to a fair mark and if he where to put his best foot forward he would have definite place claims. Amanda's Lad was well beaten in a maiden last time out when finishing fourth, showing signs of temperament on that occasion and he needs to improve significantly to score. Of the remainder Star Applause is from a shrewd yard and any market confidence should be noted.
