The shortlist contains Acts Of Grace, Dimelight, Dayrose and Jewaar, with Jewaar getting the vote. A half-sister to Invincible Spirit, Acts Of Grace, has likeable breeding and can go well. A half-sister to numerous winners, the Sir Michael Stoute-trained Dayrose has also to be considered, as does Dimelight, who improved from run one to two to finish second on Lingfield's all-weather last time and his trainer does well at this venue. Dream Witness is a half-sister to six winners, including Material Witness, while, being a $450,000 daughter of Diesis, Jewaar gets a big mention. Lorinae showed promise when third at Folkestone on her debut, although the bare form is modest, while Henry Cecil's Novellara is another with likeable breeding. Overall, though, unless the betting market says something different, we will stick with Jewaar.
