In a race where a few can be considered, we will side with Isaz ahead of Amanda's Lad, Soviet Sceptre and Parliament Hill. The selection is well up to winning a race of this nature as some of his maiden efforts read very well, particularly a second to Marching Band as a juvenile and a soft-ground fifth behind Dafore at Salisbury last time. He comes here fit and today's trip on this going should suit him better, so he looks set to run well. Amanda's Lad ran well for a long way at Doncaster behind Dr Thong last time and the drop in trip should suit. Irusan was two-and-a-half lengths behind him that day and meets him on the same terms today. while Kensington has place claims. Neon Blue is another that was knocking at the door as a juvenile, while Parliament Act cost 44,000 guineas and hails from a stable that is doing well with its juveniles. Jeremy Glover, who landed a double at Leicester on Monday, has booked Darryll Holland for Rene Barbier, but the filly has something to find with Kensington on Nottingham form, although that did come on soft going. Soviet Sceptre is another to seriously consider as the form of his Nottingham third last time is working out well, although his stable has yet to hit form. Truman should do better this year, so watch the market with regard to this half-brother to the high-class Landseer. However, for today, we will side with Isaz.
