Beautiful Dancer is superbly bred and is certainly one to consider, but Meynell has solid form credentials and she gets our vote, Zero Cool may be best of the others. Michael Jarvis's filly has taken a little while to get the hang of things but ran a blinder last time out when just touched off by Angel Kate. The third was well beaten off and so the form has a solid look to it and she sets a decent standard in this event. Zero Cool ran well enough on his Newmarket debut and this expensive son of Forestry should play a hand in the finish. Beautiful Dancer, a daughter of Danehill Dancer and the once raced Impenetrable are two to keep a close eye on in the betting, but Meynell does look the pick on form and she gets the verdict.
