In depth

Verdict

Polly Perkins has an interesting jockey booking on debut and we will side with her at the expense of Skippit John and Lady Hopeful. Pivotal's stock seem to be fairing particularly well at present and this relation to My Melody Parkes will be difficult to beat if possessing anything like the speed of her. Skippit John isn't the biggest of individuals and faces a different set of circumstances to that of his maiden bow. Lady Hopeful showed plenty of speed on a previous outing here. Katie Boo is sure to be well forward. Polly Perkins gets our selection tonight.
