Muthmira completely blew the start on her debut at Chelmsford so did well to finish third. She will surely have learned from that experience but a draw in the centre of the track here may not prove ideal and she won't be much of a price. Desert Sport was beaten under a length when third at Nottingham last month while Syncopation should be winning soon, though probably in a nursery. We'll take a chance on the Pivotal colt COMPRISE, who is owned by the Royal Ascot Racing Club and is a half-brother to three winners including the useful Enact and has a Group 1 entry.
