Verdict
Indian Ink, Love On Sight and Rosie cross are the three against the field in this wide open affair where the market will no doubt be informative. Rosie Cross has a decent debut run to her credit, having finished a good fourth at Lingfield behind Kevin Ryan's well regarded We'll Confer. Beaten only four and a half lengths, she will come on for the experience, and will not go off a 50-1 shot this time. Alan Jarvis is capable of having a two year old ready first time out and he saddles Love On Sight here, a daughter of the classy Beat Hollow. She is out of a seven furlong winner and any market confidence should be heeded. Richard Hannon's newcomers should always be noted and he saddles a debutant in Indian Ink, unsurprisingly a daughter of Indian Ridge out of a half sister to a six furlong winner. The pedigree suggests plenty of pace and Indian Ink is a tentative suggestion in a race that is probably best watched.
