The step up in trip will suit Undaunted Affair, who can improve upon a promising debut to land this from Rosabee, Honimiere and newcomer Desert Sunset. The Kevin Ryan-trained selection overcame a little trouble at the start to finish just a length third to Art Princess at Nottingham on debut. She can clearly come on for that run, and the extra furlong here will be right up her street, so she looks good enough to break her maiden. Rosabee¿s pedigree suggests that the quicker ground here will help her to improve on her Redcar run at the beginning of this month and the extra furlong will also suit, so she is respected. Honimiere is another to whom those previous comments apply. Beautifully bred, she should come into her own over longer trips in time and should handle the ground. Desert Sunset is another of good stock and along with fellow debutante Haven¿t A Clue she looks more suited to this speed test than Dubai¿s Gazal, but for today experience can count as a positive for Undaunted Affair, who gets the vote.
