Pershaan will probably be sent off the favourite but is becoming rather exposed now and we prefer to side with Larking About in the hope that Henry Cecil's filly improves dramatically for her racecourse debut. Beautifully bred, being by Silver Hawk out of the Dancing Brave mare Milly Ha Ha, the selection was left in the stalls on her Newmarket debut and was struggling from three furlongs out. However, there is sure to be plenty of improvement in the Clivedon Stud-owned filly and, with the Cecil camp in such good form at present, she may be worth chancing against Pershaan. John Dunlop's filly has shown signs of ability and is well up to taking a race of this nature but, as we have said, she has had plenty of chances and might be worth taking on. In a poor contest, Amanda Perrett's Act of Honor, who was well beaten on her Beverley debut, looks the best of the remainder but we side with Larking About.
