This doesn't look the strongest of races and IBMAB may be good enough to win on his second start; More For Less and Go To Dubai look the most interesting of his rivals. Linda Stubbs has had some good juveniles over the past few years and although Ibmab is unlikely to sit near the top of the list, he is from a good family and he showed a bt of promise on his first start in a maiden at Haydock. Miami Gator represents a trainer in good form, whilst More For Less ran better last time and his dam is a half-sister to the top sprinter Borderlescott. Ytartfawn, Sir Christie and Sands Of Dee have all hinted at ability in their runs, and the latter represents a trainer still in very good form. Go To Dubai comes from a yard whose horses often improve markedly for their debuts, however in a tricky race where the newcomers wouldn't need to be superstars to feature, it is Ibmab who is tentatively selected.
