Cyd Charisse has the best form on offer here but the five-year-old faces no easy task giving weight away all round because of her penalties and she looks best watched with preference for Nakoma, who gets the vote over Run To Me. The last mentioned showed improved form when a comfortable scorer over Ramvaswani at Fakenham earlier this month and Gay Kelleway's mare has to be respected on that evidence. Point-to-point winner Charlottes Webb has to be of interest on her rules debut but may be best watched, while Beguiling needs to improve on bumper form to take a hand. The vote then goes to Nakoma, who showed decent form in bumpers and made an encouraging return to action when a close second behind Chrysander here last month. Henry Daly's mare is taken to go one better today.
