Paul Cole is the man to follow at this meeting and Mr Dinos is the one they have to beat in this opening maiden. He was disappointing at Kempton last time hanging under pressure but will have benefited from the experience and should go well here. Shabernak is difficult to assess on just one start but he did run well to make a more experienced rival work hard for victory at Nottingham on his debut. Starring finished well on the Polytrack on her debut and should appreciate this step up in trip while Lakatoi holds an Oaks entry and she is bred to come into her own at this trip. The market may provide the best clue for John Dunlop's Tahini.
