Mata Hari Blue arrives on the back of a win at Southwell but her poor strike rate suggests she may struggle to follow up under a penalty, while Young Simon has failed to reproduce the form of his win here in January off a higher mark. Jonny Ebeneezer had to be dropped into a lower grade to get his head back in front last time and CHANTILLY JEWEL is preferred. Despite the narrow winning margin of her latest victory over C&D, Robert Cowell's mare always looked the likely winner once she took the lead and has every chance of landing her hat-trick in this company.
