It will be interesting to see how Henry Cecil's Lady Lily handles the Polytrack on her first attempt on the surface but a safer bet looks to be Efistorm, with Grand Show rated the pick of the remainder. The selection comes here in good form following a win at Newmarket and good second at Haydock. Proven on this surface, she looks worth a bet to resume winning ways. Dingaan looks a shade high in the weights at present, while Capricorn Run is now 13lbs higher than when scoring here last month. Barney McGrew is inconsistent and of more interest may be Walter Swinburn's Grand Show who has been running consistently well of late. None of these has been in better form than Efistorm of late though and she looks the one to be on.
