Luca Cumani's Pentatonic is chosen here ahead of Moon Valley and Best Lady. The selection as with most of the Helena Springfield horses boasts a fantastic pedigree. She is by Giant's Causeway out of a Slip Anchor mare. She showed improved form on her second outing when chasing home the Godolphin horse Counterpunch and looks set to go one better this afternoon. Moon Valley has shown plenty of promise in two races to date and should again be in the prize money. Best Lady is from a yard in cracking form at present and although a shade disappointing last time she should still make her presence felt. Sir Michael Stoute's Seeking Kali may do best of the others but our idea of the winner is Pentatonic.
