In depth

Verdict

Foxy Music has very obvious claims and is selected ahead of Nomoreblondes. Having defied pre-race expectations by finishing third to Jack Rackham at Thirsk two runs ago, Foxy Music proved that to be no fluke when finishing third from a mark of 81 in a Chester handicap last time out. He is the one they all have to beat today. Nomoreblondes looks clearly the second-best based on her fair fourth to Windjammer at Musselburgh last time and she could find improvement for first-time cheekpieces. Hawaii Prince's form was not devoid of promise last season and he is entitled to improve from two to three, while Mangano's form rates as being around selling class. Fly Time improved to run well in a claimer last time and might bag some money but, for the selection, we return to Foxy Music.
