Recent winners Lauren Louise and and Misty Princess could fight out the finish here, with the first named getting our vote, Forest Dane looks best of the others. The selection was quite impressive when comfortably beating Titus Wonder over this trip at Lingfield. It wasn't the strongest of contests but neither is this and a big run is expected. Misty Princess has won two of her last three races in this grade and is turning out to be a tough customer, she should again play a major role. Forest Dane wasn't beaten far behind a decent enough type over the five furlong trip here last time. The extra furlong is a slight concern but he should still be involved in the finish. The pick of the rest could be Marshallspark, but there could be more to come from Lauren Louise and she gets the verdict.
