A tough handicap to weigh up with plenty of them open to improvement and so a narrow vote is given to Fragrancy, with Danehillsundance and Docofthebay also expected to go well. Michael Jarvis's filly made a winning debut at Lingfield last October and has put in two decent efforts since. The latest was over nine at Goodwood when four lengths behind Mr Aviator. She only weakend in the final furlong and so the drop back to a mile should be ideal. Docofthebay beat a decent type at Thirsk last month, but couldn't follow up under a penalty, he may once again find one or two in front of him today. A bigger threat could be Danehillsundnace. Richard Hannon's charge ended last year with a victory on the all-weather and returned recently with an excellent second behind Slate at Folkestone. He should come on for the run and should make his presence felt. Radical Views and Practically Perfect are two others worthy of respect and so it is with not too much confidence that we select Fragrancy.
