Make Me King
7/2
PERSICA is a dual Group 3 winner already this season and was far from disgraced in a German Group 1 last month. He's taken to make a breakthrough at Group 2 level and is narrowly preferred to Jonquil, whose second in the French 2000 Guineas represents the strongest form on offer, though he needs to get back on track having lost his way a little since then. Most of the others have claims, notably Make Me King who was better than ever when winning a shade cosily in listed company last time.

About The Selections

Michael Teeney

Saqqara Sands She's a relatively unexposed three-year-old, and stepping up to a mile should suit as she steps up to a mile for the first time.

Race Hints

Specific Pace Hint: Balmacara could be expected to race prominently. Of those in the front half of the betting forecast, Make Me King might be well positioned in a slowly run affair: Of the better-fancied horses, Jonquil is most likely to be ridden furthest from the pace.
Individual Price Hint: Balmacara traded at 10% or less of Betfair SP and 50% or less of Betfair SP on 2 of its last 5 starts: Arisaig traded at 25% or less of Betfair SP twice on its last 5 starts.
