Milliesecond gets a narrow vote over Bookiesindexboy, Pretty Miss and Hythe Bay. Quite a few of these have placed form, but Milliesecond has a recent success to her name, having opened her account at Lingfield last month. That win will have enhanced this beautifully-bred filly's paddock value, and a follow-up looks very much on the cards, with the fast ground once again in her favour. Bookiesindexboy has just the one victory to his name, on the all-weather at Wolverhampton, but has been placed on a number of occasions. He likes to lead, and was not allowed to do so at Nottingham last time, so his chance will very much depend on the start, while Pretty Miss has a first-time visor on in a bid to put a poor run at Windsor behind her. Hythe Bay might find things happening too fast here, but is not badly weighted, however, Millisecond makes much more appeal.
