Namu's recent form gives her leading claims in a contest where most of the field are struggling to show any positive signs but we'll opt for FOXTROT ALPHA whilst Rhapsilian could also feature. The selection has rarely threatened to live up to the promise of her juvenile season and trailed home 11 lengths off the pace at Lingfield just 12 days ago. However, she's been showing plenty of pace over seven so this drop in trip could be in her favour and the handicapper has been sympathetic. Namu is 6lbs higher than when last seen in action at Brighton which raises her to a mark from which she's struggled to be competitive over the past couple of seasons. However, she's in fine fettle and rates highly. Dualagi is on a fair mark and capable of making her presence felt as is the turf maiden Rhapsilian who ran well here in June. Mount Ella, Black Moma and Efisio Princess have bits and pieces of form that give them claims but Foxtrot Alpha is the suggestion.
