Viva La Flag is the selection in race two, with her main dangers given as Castara Bay and Royal Secrets. Viva La Flag was an eyecatching newcomer when finishing fourth to Truly Enchanting over seven furlongs here. With the winner having won a handicap off 80 last-time out, she can reasonably be expected to go well today. Castara Bay scores high for consistency and, with his form rating in the high-70s, must be given every chance today. Dream Of Fortune got the hang of things late on at Kempton on his debut and Jeremy Noseda's colt could go well today. Orchestrator showed promise on his two-year-old debut and is open to improvement, while Quaglino Way is related to winners, and Atayem, who hails from a stable that does well here, is another potential improver having shown debut promise at today's track. The Barry Hills-trained Inchinata is surely better than her soft-ground debut last season, and Roxie Princess was ahead of Atayem when finishing third over course and distance last time out. She has to be seriously considered today. However, having finished a length and a quarter ahead of her that day, Royal Secrets has to be given every chance too; the selection, though, is Viva La Flag.
