Auwitesweetheart gets the narrow vote over Campeon here with Majestical put forward as the other one who might be capable of making the frame. The selection is a likeable filly who has been knocking on the door of late. She ran well last time when a close second behind Angelofthenorth at Nottingham, and although she is not ideally drawn here, she will have ground conditions to suit and she looks the one to beat. Campeon struggled from his unfavourable draw at Folkestone last time but he had previously run well behind Ruby Muja at Windsor and from a fair draw here he should go well. Majestical was disappointing at Musselburgh last time but he is strictly held by our selection on a form line through Angelofthenorth, so we are happy to oppose him. Cree was having his first run for five months when last seen out so he is sure to benefit from that outing, but Auwitesweetheart is in good form and is given the vote.
