Verdict

Mohafazaat looks the best option here, with Monteleone and Red Sans the two main rivals. Marcus Tregoning's filly is superbly bred by Saddler's Wells out of a Mr Prospector mare and she showed tremendous promise on her debut at Bath. Out the back for most of the way, she took a while to pick up and could never really get competitive but was noted finishing very well. She will have learnt plenty from the experience and will be hard to beat here. Richard Hannon runs the newcomer Monteleone, a nicely bred daughter of Montjeu. Most of the stable's debutante's improve for their first run, but nevertheless she has to be respected in this company. Red Sans has shown plenty of promise in two outings to date and could reward each-way support. However this looks a decent opening for Mohafazaat who should lose her maiden tag at the second time of asking.
