Madhavi, Maystock and Celtique are the three against the field here with the last named getting the vote. Celtique has won twice this season at Lingfield and here over two furlongs shorter. She stayed on well that day and this step up in trip will not pose as a problem. She was not disgraced in defeat last time out when third to Mighty Moon in an amateur contest here so she has to be on everyones short list. Madhavi has been in ultra consistent form this season winning twice this summer. When she is not in the winners enclosure she is never far away as seen when second to Croon at Epsom last time out. Another bold run is expected. Maystock won at Warwick back in May but has since found things tough. But she caught the eye when second over further here last time out so any market moves should be noted. But for the winner we return to Celtique.
