Distinctive Look probably has the best form among those to have raced but Brian Meehan's filly is becoming expensive to follow and it may pay to take a chance on one of the newcomers with Fondness preferred to Farafran. The last mentioned is a daughter of Rainbow Quest trained by Ed Dunlop and may need more time, while Henry Cecil's Fantastisch disappointed on her second start and is probably best watched at present. Paul Cole's Puteri Sas is another that failed to progress from her debut run as a juvenile, while Spanish Rainbow has shown only a modicum of ability but should improve now that she races over further. The vote then goes to Roger Charlton's Fondness, who has a decent pedigree and is taken to make a winning debut.
