Early Promise and Sandrey are the best of the experienced runners but there are some nicely bred debutante's here including Minnis Bay and Silaah, and will will take a chance on the last named. Ed Dunlop's colt is 72 thousand guineas son of Mind Games who is related to plenty of winners including the smart On The Brink. The stable have already hit the mark with juvenile newcomers this season and if the money is down take note. Early Promise is improving with racing and chased home an 82 rated horse last time. That would be good enough to win a lot of class four maidens and so he warrants plenty of respect. Minnis Bay is a well bred son of Royal Academy and the booking of the in form Kerrin Mcevoy catches the eye. Sandrey is likely to step up on his recent debut and looks the best of the remainder, but on this occasion we will plump for the interesting first time out Silaah.
