Park Ave Princess, Head Boy and Princess Ismene all have obvious claims, but we will take a chance on Sonderborg. Gary Moore's filly is lightly raced and showed improved form when a close up sixth in a decent enough race here back on the third off January. She was noted staying on strongly over that seven furlong trip and should be well suited by this extra distance. Park Ave Princess was ahead of the selection on that occasion but may struggle to confirm the form at today's weights. A bigger threat could be Head Boy who ran a cracker to finish a close fourth behind Desert Image here last week. Of the others Princess Ismene landed a seller last time and may find it difficult in this better company, so after some deliberation Sonderborg has strong claims and could be the value bet.
