This looks an eminently winnable race and it is PANTHERII who can make the long journey from Whatcombe worthwhile; the consistent Willyn may prove to be the biggest danger. Paul Cole's charge is yet to record her maiden success but on her ninth start she is fancied to prevail. Her run when last seen at Leicester a year ago shoed that she handles quick ground and this looks one of her easiest assignments to date. Salerosa is a consistent filly but she prefers to get her toe in and she has an engagement at Carlisle on Monday, whilst Dorn Dancer and Grethel are both course winners and neither can be ignored. Society Music was well-held behind Salerosa at Beverley in May and has a bit to prove, whilst Papa's Princess only has one win to her name and ran deplorably at Carlisle last time when quite well-fancied. Willyn must be considered from the foot of the weights but it is Pantherii who is narrowly preferred.
