Fabuleux Cherie is selected here ahead of New Balls Please and Culzean Bay. Fabuleux Cherie comes here on the top of her game, having won two of her last three races and running well in defeat at Sandown last time. As long as those runs have not now taken the edge off her, she looks to be the one to beat. New Balls Please is interesting in that he seemed to show some improvement in first-time cheekpieces last time and, with the drop in trip today looking likely to suit, can go well. Culzean Bay was behind him when they met last time but met trouble in running on that occasion and, generally consistent, a good run is not ruled out. Finally, Mick Channon's Zabeel Tiger could well prove better than he has so far shown but, for the selection, we will stick with Fabuleux Cherie.
