        Verdict

        Mark Johnston's horses have started the season in good form so the chances are that Etmaam will be fit enough to do himself justice and he gets the vote over Glencairn Star and Henndey. The last mentioned was one of only a few of Michael Jarvis' juveniles to fail to sparkle last season but is probably better than he showed when last of 19 runners in a Newbury maiden in October. Jim Goldie's Glencairn Star showed promise in two starts last term and has to be respected but preference is for Etmaam. Mark Johnston's colt ran promisingly when a five-length fourth of 11 behind Granato over six furlongs at Pontefract in September. There should be more to come over today's longer trip and he looks the one to be on. David Nicholls-trained runners normally need their first outing so his duo of Ice Planet and Young Warrior are probably best watched and, of more interest among the newcomers, is Declan Daly's Starborough colt Nounou. However, Etmaam makes plenty of appeal and gets the vote.
