The market could be the best guide to this race but without it we go with YELLOW PRINTER to score but retain an interest in Twenty Score and the newcomer Aqwaas. The selection has improved from both of his two outing so far and took well to polytrack last time when posting a second place of 10 runners over distance at Wolverhampton. Those performances suggest there is much more to come and it's more than possible the Maiden tag will go here. Twenty Score, who is related to some sprint winners, shaped really well on her debut over six furlongs at Great Leighs; a performance which suggested she has a winner future. Will wait to see whether that comes here. Aqwaas, the new one for Sir Michael Stoute, has winner in the family and this seems a good introduction to racing. Any money going his way should be taken notice of and the trip seems about right. The two with drinks related names, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cognac Boy, have shown enough from their limited starts to suggest they could get involved but the choice for us is Yellow Printer.
