Palm Court, Elna Bright and Ghetto look the three for the shortlist in this handicap and the confident vote is given to Elna Bright. The selection has won twice this season, including over this course and distance last time. He looks to be prgressing really well with his racing and Ryan Moore gets a really good tune out of him. We think he can win this before going on to bigger and better things. Palm Court is the one we fear the most as he won last time at Wolverhampton when beating Dixey. He looked like there was plenty more to come from him that day and he should again run a big race, although he is probably going to be even better over further. Ghetto won well last time at Newmarket when beating Albaqaa, but as he hails from the same yard as our selection, the market may provide some clues. Lady Benjamin has been running really well but she will find this more competitive than some of her recent outings, and for the winner we will stick with the progressive Elna Bright.
