Verdict
Kate The Great, Dispol Kylie and Polish Pride make most appeal in this trappy opener and the vote is given to Kate The Great. The selection won well on her debut when she beat Raggle Taggle over 5f at Lingfield. She caught the eye that day and if she improves then she should prove tough to beat. Dispol Kylie is another that scored on her debut when she beat Eilean Eevie. However that horse has since been out and let the form down, so she is one to tread carefully with. Polish Pride is another that won well on her debut when she got the better of Count Almaviva at Musselburgh. She won on soft that day so providing she handles this slightly quicker ground she can go well. Spin Cycle is an interesting newcomer from a yard that do well at the northern tracks, but there are some nice types in opposition here and a safer bet looks to be Kate The Great who can build on her impressive debut success.
