It is hard to see past CHATEAU ZARA in this handicap; the list of dangers is headed by Tilsworth Glenboy and Spirited Lady. The selection hails from the Clive Cox yard and this filly chased home a fair yardstick in Lord Raglan over this course and distance earlier in the month. That was on soft ground but today's conditions should not be a problem and she looks a winner waiting to happen. Tilsworth Glenboy finished behind our selection last time out when he was returning from an 81-day break. He didn't help his chance by veering right that day under pressure and he is not one to dismiss lightly. Spirited Lady ran her best race yet at Wolverhampton last month but she is making her debut on the turf today and she will need to improve again to make her mark. Dutiful did win a race at Wolverhampton last year, and although he appeared to disappoint a little last time out, that race has in fact worked out very well. Goldtrek would have claims on the pick of her form from last year but she failed to show her best when last seen out and that was only a moderate maiden. Chateau Zara ticks most boxes and she gets the vote
