This race has cut up a bit so DONTBUGTHEBUNNY is our idea of the most likely winner with Yawary and City Vault Girl on the shortlist. George Baker has shown himself as a particularly adept trainer when he has the right material and while there is plenty of stamina on the father's side of the pedigree, there is enough on the dam's side to suggest that she will have enough pace to make an impact. Yawary will be the benchmark for the assessor. She ran up to her mark at Brighton though looks nothing special. City Vaults Girl shaped with promise at Pontefract and it will be no surprise to see her build upon that effort. Tagula Pearl looks to have regressed badly. Daisy Brown ran very green on debut at Haydock and is probably capable of better. Farmers Wish is a half-sister to Northern Dare and is one to note in the market. Shamandar was a very cheap daughter of Exceed and Excel but has a decent trainer to yield any ability from her. Dontbugthebunny is our bet.
