Royal Pardon, Jenny Soba and Lysandra are the three to look at here with Lysandra the selection. Lysandra has been running well in this sort of company at Haydock and Epsom but has been outclassed in better grade last time. A return to this type of opposition may well suit and Lysandra can go close. Royal Pardon is still a maiden in over twenty starts but enjoys the track having run well here in his last two starts. A slight step up in trip may help, but her long losing run makes you wonder and she is taken on. Jenny Soba has been running consistently but despite being placed on more than one occasion recently, she was beaten in selling grade two outings ago and may not quite be good enough. Lysandra can take this.
