Paul Nicholls again looks the man to side with, as Supreme Huntress takes on the likes of The Local and Sole Agent, who are fancied to give the selection the most to do. Sole Agent has been highly tried on occasions and struggled as a result. However, the five-year-old does appear to have got his act together well these days and, now that he has proved his stamina, he can be a force in this company. The Local likes to get on with things and should help to ensure a good pace. He would be dangerous if allowed an easy lead and is no back number today. He looks a banker for placepot lists. Nevertheless, Supreme Huntress has far more scope for improvement and the son of Supreme Leader is expected to get back to winning ways at a track that poses no problems for him.
