Some very interesting newcomers here including First Slip and Exotic Venture, but on this occasion we will side with experience and plump for Pleasing. John Dunlop's generally improve with racing and this well bred filly is certainly going the right way. Her recent third behind Easy Air makes good reading in the context of this event and she should do event better over this more suitable trip. Amanda Perrett's runner First Slip is by Slip Anchor out of an American mare. He will have been well prepared and if he attracts money in the ring take note. The same applies to Exotic Venture who is by the prolific sire Piccolo and hails from a yard that can get one ready first time out. Ed Vaughn's Ennobling should step up on her debut effort and could prove best of the others, but for the winner we return to Pleasing.
