Pequenita is given the confident vote here with Margarets Wish and Indian Star put forward as the main dangers. The selection won well when beating Time To Roam at Taunton last time and with the cheek-pieces once again on today she should take plenty of beating. Margarets Wish rates the main danger but she finished in mid-division behind Cashel Dancer last time and although she has winning form over this course and distance she looks to have plenty to prove at present. Indian Star was returning from a break when a good third behind Just Wiz over this course and distance last time and with the tongue-tie once again here he looks to have a leading chance. Think Quick has shown a modicum of ability and looks the best of the rest, but for the winner we return to Pequenita.
