In the opener, Love On Sight is selected ahead of Falimar and Starbougg. Love On Sight has shown a lot of promise on each start, including at Group 3 level at Ascot last time. She looks like the one to beat today. Falimar improved on her debut run to finish third to World's Heroine at York last time and that form of run makes her a leading player today. Mark Johnston won this race last year but Double Precedent will have to leave her debut run behind her in order to feature today. Golden Dagger is one of the likelier types based on overall profile although, undoubtedly, she will improve for time. Montjeu's Melody also very much catches the eye based on breeding and should be noted in the betting, while Pret A Porter showed some promise after running green on her debut and is entitled to improve on that run. A 52,000 guineas daughter of Tobougg, Starbougg also gets a good mention but, once again, for the selection, we will side with Love On Sight.
