Missile Dodger can win this with both Fuaigh Mor and Exceptional Art likely dangers. The selection was impressive when winning at Bath on his debut and while this will be much tougher we feel that with improvement he can win again. His trainer is becoming well known for his handling of two year olds and for that reason he is a horse to stay on the right side of. Fuaigh Mor was seen winning on her debut at Warwick only to appear a little out classed in a similar race at Thirsk thereafter so others are preferred. Exceptional Art will be one to note in the betting market coming from a popular yard. He is a nicely bred individual but the market will give the best guide to his chances. So for the winner we return to Missile Dodger.
