A tricky looking opener. From a handicapping perspective a case can be made for both Alfie Solomons and Swanton Blue, although neither horse can be labelled as a prolific winner, while Global Hope will almost certainly benefit for the run at Yarmouth last week and has the man of the moment Oisin Murphy in the saddle. However, for very small stakes we'll chance the Paul Chamings-trained SPANISH STAR who was successful on each of his first three starts last season, so shouldn't be unduly troubled by returning from a 219-day absence. Of the remainder, Rasheeq (sports a tongue-tie) and Gilt Edge both merit serious each-way consideration.
