Verdict
Aromatherapy gets the confident vote in the opener with Tableau Vivant and Totem Flower rating the main dangers. The selection showed enough in two runs last season, notably when fourth behind Coachhouse Lady to suggest she could win a race of this nature. She looks sure to improve for the longer trip and with the Henry Cecil horses in good form she will be hard to beat. Tableau Vivant rates the main danger as she was a fair third behind Sophia's Fire on her debut, despite running green. She is sure to improve and should be watched in the market. Totem Flower is another that showed promise last season but she will be handicapped after this run and that is where her future may lie over a slightly longer trip. Illusion is a well-bred filly by Anabaa from a yard in form but she may improve for the experience and with this in mind Aromatherapy looks the one to be on.
