DE GRANDHOMME (8) is the one to beat off a brilliant run over this course and distance on debut where he clocked some good splits late in the race. He's drawn beautifully for this race and it doesn't look an overly strong maiden. Just has to run up to his debut figures to be winning this. CHINESE DENTIST (9) has shown enough at the trials and was around De Grandhomme in his most recent trial at Lark Hill. He's had two trials this time in work to and he won't be far away if he can run up to his trial efforts. HELL'S CITI (2) is better than he showed at the end of last campaign and he wasn't beaten far here first-up last campaign. He's drawn ideally for the straight course and he possesses good early speed. Should be right in the finish. VERNACULAR (10) won a trial in readiness for this and is expected to go close. OVATHEBAR (6) is next best.
