Multidimensional has bags of scope for improvement and is selected ahead of Paraguay and Orpsie Boy, who make the most appeal out of the rest of the field. Orpsie Boy is unexposed at the trip and comes here on the back of a solid effort in a valuable handicap here earlier in the month. He should stay on breeding and a market move will be dangerous to ignore. Paraguay has done his connections proud lately and another bold attempt looks assured while the ground remains on the fast side. He is on a 6lb higher mark than for his course and distance win last month and now has to take on stiffer company. Watch the market carefully where he is concerned. Multidimensional holds the edge in terms of anticipated improvement though and this son of Danehill is very much one to keep on the right side as he continues to learn his trade.
