Pole Cole has his string in fine form and Good Vibrations looks set to add to his tally at the expense of Carrigo and Averami. This well bred filly ran a stinker at Wolverhampton last time, but prior to that over course and distance went down by just two lengths to Rowan Pursuit in a class F handicap, this represents a drop in grade and a big run is expected. It is quite amazing that Garrigon is still a maiden as he has gone close on numerous occasions including a head defeat by St Savarin back in December, form that entitles him to every respect in this company. Andrew Balding's Averami wasn't beaten far in a six furlong maiden here over Christmas and should also be in the firing line. Richard Hannon's Jaolins will also have her supporters following a comfortable selling win last time, but for the winner we return to Good Vibrations.
