Verdict

There is not much between the likely principle players on the official figures for this race and it would be no surprise to see this go right down to the wire. However, Ayun represents a yard that does well with it's runners here and the daughter of Swain is just preferred to Chief Yeoman and Fabulous Jet. The step up to 10 furlongs appeared to be the making of Ayun at Epsom last time and repeat does of that performance will make her the one to beat here. Chief Yeoman is an obvious danger and has to be considered as a threat. But he ran no sort of race at ascot last time and may be best watched for the time being. Fabulous Jet should also be capable of giving Ayun plenty to think about if he runs up to his best.
