Hills Spitfire will not find many better opportunities to finally open his account but Walter Swinburn's four-year-old has become somewhat expensive to follow and at the likely odds looks worth taking on with preference for Perfumery, who gets the vote ahead of Always Mine. The last mentioned gave little sign of encouragement on his belated reappearance last month and is probably best watched today on that evidence. Beauchamp Tiger showed signs of ability on his Windsor debut last month and could be of interest along with Avicia, who has run to a similar level of form in two starts here. The vote though goes to John Gosden's Perfumery, who has run with credit is two starts so far and the daughter of Dubai Millennium looks to have been found a suitable opportunity to open her account.
