A competitive handicap rounds off the card and Coy, Mystical Girl, Brindisi and Celtic Heroine look to be the principles with the vote going to Coy. The selection is sure to be popular here and she looked as though she would be suited by the step up in trip when staying on strongly over 7 furlongs behind Lucky Spin at Leicester last time. She is still open to plenty of improvement and with Keiren Fallon given the task of guiding her home she is taken to score. Mystical Girl ran well enough at Epsom last time behind Lord Mayor and she will be suited by the drop back to this trip. But her stable could be in better form and our selection still looks to be improving, so on this occasion we are happy to take Mystical Girl on. Brindisi has got to be respected on the form of her fourth to Ouija Board in a Listed race at Newmarket back in May. She has since won a maiden at Haydock and as she is still improving she could be capable of a big run. Celtic Heroine has shown a fair level of form to date, but she will have to improve to take hand in the finish; a comment that would also apply to Totally Yours who may struggle to see out this trip. Zosima is the other worth a second look in the market and if the vibes are positive then she would certainly be worthy of consideration, but for the winner we return to Coy.
