James Fanshawe has his string in fine fettle and in an open contest we'll take SITWELL to score on debut. The Dr Fong colt is related to 10f winners and this 7f trip should be ideal for starters. The concern is that the yard has not has a two-year-old winner yet this year. However, they have not had too many runners and those who have been beaten were doing so when the stable was not going quite so well, so we'll take Sitwell to buck the trend. Gaily Noble put up a pleasing debut in context when a four length fourth here last month and with improvement anticipated he should be thereabouts. The same can be said of Cousin Charlie, who ran decidedly green at Newbury but who can probably show plenty more tonight. Three Ducks went well first time and Luca Cumani's filly should improve for both that and the extra furlong here but we'll take Sitwell to capitalise on the good Fanshawe form.
