There are some very interesting newcomers including Amanda Perrett's Dazzling Blaze and Richard Hannon's Red Pride, but we will side with experience and plump for Genari, with Al Shamara also expected to go well. Paul Cole trains our selection who put in a tremendous debut run when chasing home Championship Point in a hot race at Newbury. He only went down by a head and with improvement expected he looks the one to be on today. Al Shamara stepped up on her debut run to finish third behind Upper Hand at Yarmouth and will be hard to keep out of the frame. Dazzling Blaze is a well bred son of Spectrum and as with Red Pride, a Fasiliyev colt, he should be noted for any market move. In fact the betting will prove invaluable for this contest, but without that knowledge we will have to side with the form choice and that is Genari.
