Mystic Dancer gets the narrow vote here ahead of Glen Nevis and Tasweet. The selection looks the part on breeding and with Sir Michael Stoute's string in red hot form he looks the percentage call. Glen Nevis is another interesting newcomer and he is certainly bred to have plenty of speed. His stable are in good form and he is one to note in the market given that Jeremy Noseda has done so well with his 2-year-old debutants this season. Tasweet is also from a stable with a good strike-rate at present and again a watching brief on the market is advised. However, he may do better over further in time. Kirk Michael showed a modicum of ability on his debut and is another to consider, but for the winner we are happy to return to Mystic Dancer.
