Total Gallery is the one to beat on official ratings but he hasn't encountered ground like this before and with his pedigree sending out mixed messages, we will instead side with ANGLEZARKE whose form stacks up well. Tim Easterby's filly ran a blinder last time behind Madam Trop Vite in the Flying Childers at Doncaster. She handles this ground and is evidently taking her racing well. La Brigitte also ran well at Doncaster last time but that was in a lesser race, The Magic Of Rio has been progressive at a lower level but steps up in class today, whilst Magic Cat is unexposed and could be anything. Dispol Kylie and Salsa Star need to step up massively on what we have seen to date, so a more feasible danger could be Raggle Taggle. Ralph Beckett's filly ran well behind Treasure at Deauville and with some placed Black Type to her name, connections will be hoping that she might be able to pick up this average Listed race. Angelzarke looks progressive however and she is given our vote of confidence.
