Gino Wotimean finished in front of Ostrich when fifth here on his debut but Robert L'Echelle makes more appeal. The latter improves with every outing and was narrowly beaten over a mile at Lingfield last time. He can figure if lasting home but the returning STAY FOREVER is the first foal of a winner over 1m2f and Andrew Balding’s filly gets the vote having placed over 7f at Newmarket back in October. Colony Queen and Eclittica are both related to winners and newcomers to note.
