One Pursuit beat Aloneinthestreet at Southwell last month but isn't guaranteed to confirm that form on today's terms, though the latter has disappointed at Wolverhampton subsequently. One Pursuit's stablemate Absolute Princess looks harshly treated for her 33/1 win in a Southwell maiden but Brown Panther should improve on his debut success and RASHEED also has plenty of scope. John Gosden's gelding showed a nice turn of foot to score at Kempton in December and the form of that race has a solid look about it. His pedigree suggests he'll be suited by the switch to turf and, though he'll undoubtedly improve for a longer trip later in the year, he should be good enough to follow up here. Buzz Law was a consistent sort last year and may be the pick of the remainder.
