LATIN TINGE looked a class act when winning last time and she can take this at the main expense of Heliodor and Ouster. Paul Cole's filly did disappoint in the May Hill Stakes but she bounced back to form last time at Kempton when she scooted clear of her rivals. She is clearly quite useful and she was given a more patient ride last time which seemed to suit. It is no surprise to see connections having a tilt at this before putting her away for the winter and she should go close. Heliodor is in good form and he should give our selection a race, however he lacks the scope of Latin Tinge and he may have to play second fiddle to him today. Ouster could not have been any more impressive when winning at Salisbury last time, but it is hard to know exactly what he beat that day and the likelihood is that he will need to improve again to win this. Orthology looks to be on an upward curve but he will need to improve again to make his mark in this event, and we will stick with Latin Tinge as the pick.
