This Is My Song disappointed on the all-weather last time but looks to have been found a suitable opportunity back on turf, and is preferred to Clambake and Montfleur in a poor contest by the track's standards. The selection is becoming expensive to follow but this is her easiest task to date and with the stable of Amanda Perrett back in form she looks worth supporting in this company. Lunar Promise has shown signs of ability and should stay today's longer trip, while Grande Roche has given little sign of encouragement so far but should do better over this trip. Marcus Tregoning's Makbul filly Perfect Image is far from certain to see out this trip on her debut and makes less appeal than stablemate Clambake, who showed promise on her debut at Sandown in a race that has worked out well. Montfleur is another open to improvement and worthy of respect but This Is My Song will not have many better chances than this and she gets the vote.
