In this six-runner affair, Fanatical gets the nod over Kylane. Kylane and Fanatical have the best form of these six runners. Kylane was not disgraced at Group 3 level last time when beaten just over six lengths in the Sweet Solera Stakes. She looks an obvious player here, as does Fanatical, a two lengths fifth behind Cake in the Listed St Hugh's Stakes at Newbury last time. We are going to opt for the latter as the selection. Best of the rest might prove to be the consistent Look Busy, who was a good second to Fol Hollow at Ripon two days ago, although it is interesting to see Mick Channon step Dellini up to this level following a maiden run, as it is Kevin Ryan with his expensive purchase Sweet Hope. Finally, Clive Brittain's Qasayed does not lack for breeding but, for the selection, we will stick with Fanatical.
