Speedy Senorita is the selection in the finale with Grudge and Champagne Lawn the most obvious dangers. Speedy Senorita has been in rude form of late with victories at Brighton and Ayr to her name. The daughter of Fayruz is capable of acting with give in the ground so any rainfall should not represent too much in the way of problems - today remains only a case of whether the welterweight can beat her. Grudge is still a maiden. He is never far away over five but might be better still over six. Champagne Lawn ran her best race yet at Doncaster and is one to note in the market on handicap introduction. Paddy Jack has the cheekpieces on having previously shown little in blinkers. Andastra is completely exposed as a betting proposition but ran one of his better races at Hamilton under today's rider. Thomas Malory has ran lamentably this summer but might be one to keep an eye on as he has won at this course previously. Miss Sunshine would enter calculations were any substantial rainfall to arrive. An event that won't take a lot of winning but it would be a surprise were Speedy Senorita unable to give weight and a beating to this motley bunch.
