Coin Of The Realm can take the money in the opener with Dazzling Light and Fortune City the dangers. Saeed Bin Suroor has a decent strike rate here and there was enough promise to be gleaned from Fortune City's debut to believe that he can win races. The ground was soft at Warwick and there's every chance that he can improve for this quicker surface as well as the experience but he has a good bit to find with the selection. Ed Dunlop's colt showed plenty of promise in maidens and stepped up on that form on his handicap bow when finishing second on soft ground at Windsor. He may well stay further in time but looks to have been found a decent opening here. Dazzling Light would appear to be the one that he has to beat following her run at Newbury and this half-sister to Balkan Knight must be feared. Support for La Rochette or Oops Another Act would be worth noting in an average race but Coin Of The Realm is taken to get us off to a winning start.
