This doesn't appear to be a very strong contest and Cervinia Two may be good enough to make a winning debut, Nagem and Good Book may provide most danger. Everything Jonjo sends out has to be respected and this son of Zaffaran is no exception. The dam is an unraced daughter of Executive Perk and so stamina is a slight concern, but nevertheless he does look the best option in this company. Nagam is the obvious form choice, being rated 103 following a couple of promising efforts last season, However he rarely runs two races alike and doesn't look one to trust. Good Book has been off the track for some time but does have a terrific pedigree. If there is money for this one take note. All in all though is is a weak looking affair and Cervinia Two is the tentative choice.
