Verdict

FAIRYLAND is narrowly preferred over Well Disguised and I'm Delilah. The selection has finished second on her last four starts but she doesn't have a suspect attitude and she quite simply bumped into a decent rival on her latest run. She had some decent sorts behind her that day and this ex-German raider is taken to win her first race in Britain. Well Disguised won over this course and distance last time out and the ground conditions are a big plus for her as she will relish the cut. She faces her toughest assignment to date here but she is a progressive sort and she could go well. I'm Delilah ran well when chasing home Calcutta Cup at Musselburgh last time and this is only her third start for Ferdy Murphy so there could be more to come. Moonlight Music is another who will relish the ground but it was only a weak contest she won last time out and Fairyland is preferred as the selection.
