Mialyssa, Donna's Double and Seraph are three against the field in this desperate seller and the narrow vote is given to Mialyssa. The selection was a fair third in similar grade behind Queen Of Tara last time out, that form has since been franked and in a moderate affair off the same mark he looks the one to be on. Donna's Double rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Karyon but he has looked a non stayer in the past and looks opposable on that basis. Searaph is another that could go well on his latest third behind City Of Manchester but the susopicion is he will be seen to better effect over a longer trip. Real Chief could improve for the fitting of first time cheekpecies and this faster ground so should be noted in the market. Of the remainder Champagne Rossini has conditions to suit and could go well at a price but consistency is not his striong point and in a race where stakes should be kept to a minimum for the winner we return to Mialyssa.
