Not too many can be seriously considered here and it will be disappointing if Foresight cannot open his account. The beautifully bred son of Observatory will have his sights raised in due course but this is a suitable starting point for his season as he bids to gain more experience. The form of his debut run at Newbury isn't anything to get too excited about but it reads well in the context of this race and it was a pleasing effort. Shy ran well on her sole start and could get into the mix if building on that run, Dancing Sword posted an improved performance last time and should have more to offer whilst Stop On has already shown a fair level of form but is more exposed. Hindsight's a useful tool to have at your disposal but, today, all we'll need is Foresight.
