Silca Elegance gets the confident vote in this maiden with Miss Taboo and Celeb Style rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair third behind Vainglory last time out. That form sets the standard in the context of this race and from a good draw he will be hard to beat. Miss Taboo rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Mia but he has already given the impression he would be suited by a longer trip and is taken on with this in mind. Celeb Style is another worthy of respect as she is well bred but she showed little on her debut so can not be put forward with any confidence. Of the remainder, Ardennes is from a shrewd in form yard and is another that could go well but for the winner we return to Silca Elegance
