Race Tip

This should be a routine opportunity for the Charlie Appleby trained CERRO BLANCO (1) who arrives here off the back of finishing 1. 25L second in the listed King Charles II Stakes on the Rowley Mile. Looks to be a class above this field. VASTERN (5) never made the track for George Boughey but wasn't disgraced on debut for Adam Kirby at Chepstow a few weeks ago. Will learn plenty from that experience and holds every chance. Newcomer ANNCANYA (6) will need to be exceptional on debut to win but has winners in the pedigree and is noted. LIVEMORE (3) looks to be a long term project and is best watched.
