Verdict

Nidhaal gets our vote here with Indian Maiden and Paradise Isle the main dangers. The selection won a Listed race last season and she looked a classy filly. She should have too much in her locker for the rest here, a point illustrated by her close proximity to the likes of Donna Blini, Flashy Wings and Wake Up Maggie at Newmarket when last seen out. She won first time out last season and it will be a surprise if she can't do likewise here. Indian Maiden is a prolific winner and this mare has to be respected as a live danger. She was a little disappointing in a Group 2 race last time but back in this grade she is more than capable of making the frame. Paradise Isle would have claims on the pick of her form and she had an excuse for her disappointing effort at Newmarket last time as she lost her action. Strut did not handle the soft ground last time when putting in a below-par effort at Newmarket and Roger Charlton's filly will be seen to better effect on a faster surface. However, Nidhaal sets the standard here and gets the nomination.
