Our shortlisted three are Antigoni, In Reality and Spirit Of Rosa, with the vote going to Antigoni. The Andrew Balding-trained selection showed plenty of promise on her debut when fourth over course and distance and should be able to build on that and run well today. In Reality's fourth to Cantabria last time rates as fair form, while Spirit Of Rosa was not beaten far when sixth at Newmarket on her debut. In fairness, all three so far mentioned hold solid claims based on what we know, while Spiccata and Tsini are possibly two to watch for in the betting. As ever, that will provide some sort of assistance for you as well, but the vote stays with Antigoni.
