Gold Hush is a tentative choice in what looks a tricky maiden, Shebang and Flying Encore also warrant plenty of respect. Sir Michael Stoute's filly certainly looks the part on paper being by Seeking The Gold out of a Zilzal mare. The American pedigree augers well for this debut on the all-weather track and a big run can be expected. Shebang has put in two solid efforts here and at Folkestone and she looks the pick of the experienced runners. Flying Encore has also shown tremendous promise in two races to date and is still open to plenty of improvement. Other newcomers to watch in the betting are Hora and I'm Right, but Gold Hush looks the pick on breeding and she gets the verdict.
