Unless Mikeal Magnusson's newcomer Russian Cafe proves to be out of the ordinary this should go to Great Exhibition, who gets the vote over Bee Minor. The selection is clearly one of the lesser lights in the Godolphin stable but a reproduction of the recent form shown when second at Lingfield should suffice. Bee Minor rates the main danger on form but the daughter of Barathea looks fully exposed now. The John Jenkins-trained Imtalkinggibberish has shown ability but does not appear to be the most consistent of performers and of more interest may be the debutante Russian Cafe. Mikeal Magnusson is more than capable of producing one to win first time out so the daughter of Stravinsky has to be respected, particularly is if the market speaks in her favour. Great Exhibition has an obvious chance on form though and gets the vote.
