VALATRIX, Asian Power and Baunagain make most appeal here and the vote is given to the first named. The selection arrives here in decent form and she wasn't beaten far over the minimum trip last time out. The return to the all-weather and this extra furlong will suit and she should prove tough to beat. Asian Power is a course and distance winner and he wasn't disgraced at Lingfield last time behind Brassini. He was well-backed last time out so he is certainly one to note in the market. Baunagain has twice won on the all-weather and he ran another respectable race last time out. Light Hearted has a good draw and the booking of Ryan Moore catches the eye. However, we will stick with Valatrix as our idea of the winner.
