William Haggas has his team in good form at last so Rastaban has to be considered but he needs to step up markedly on his debut effort to trouble the judge. Brian Meehan's Sisindu and the Barry Hills-trained LADY BRIDGET both improved from their first starts with the second mentioned looking worth backing to build further on her third of 15 at Bath on her most recent start and getting the vote to open her account. John Gosden's Never Never Land is bound to be popular with backers having found just Opera Dancer a length too good first time up at Wolverhampton and he has every chance on his turf debut but the experience of having had two runs sways us towards Lady Bridget.
