Formidable Guest, Shraayef and Tabulate are the trio for the shortlist here and we will nominate FORMIDABLE GUEST as the pick. The selection won well over this course and distance last time when she was given a very confident ride and she was good value for her winning margin. On the evidence of that win she should be hard to beat here, despite a 6lbs penalty. Shraayef won well last time and Tamdiid, who ran in the 7.20, was behind her that day, so if she goes well in that race then it will give the form a big boost. However, she does have a penalty this evening and her low draw is far from ideal. Tabulate was collared close home by Jelly Mo last time and she can be considered a little unlcuky as she had to check her run at a key stage in the race. She is clearly in good heart and she has to be respected. Just Intersky was well beaten last time and he is hard to fancy tonight, but course and distance winner Bienheureux is not without hope and Jamie Spencer is an eyecatching jockey booking. Formidable Guest is in great form and she can win again.
