Verdict
BAY WILLOW can finally get his head in front from Magnetic Force and Sister Earth. Mark Johnston is the top trainer at the track and it looks like he has found a nice opportunity for this horse to get his head in front. The son of Singspiel has run in some decent maidens so far and this looks his easiest assignment to date. The selection's biggest danger may come from the Sir Michael Stoute horse, Magnetic Force. His trainer is 6 from 28 with his three-year-olds at this track and the son of Verglas has some half decent form. He was unlucky not to break his maiden tag when just touched off by a head at Kempton. Ryan Moore is a positive for any horse and he takes the ride for his boss. Sister Earth made a pleasing start to her three-year-old career but may struggle against the boys. However the stable is in form and a market check is advised. Mausin is another to note but Bay Willow gets the nod.
