Montemayorprincess is selected ahead of Al Rayanah and Wodhill Scnaps, while Moonstreaker may prove to be best of the others. The last named has been off since December and may just need the run. However, this is a moderate event and, as he is only 3lb higher than the last time he was successful, he has a feasible chance on these terms. Wodhill Scnaps will carry a 6lb penalty after winning here eight days ago and would be dangerous if he were to repeat the effort. This is slightly tougher and, as he is not the most consistent, he is has a bit more on his plate. Al Rayanah has a good record of making the frame, albeit at a modest level. Still, this is just about his grade and he appears to be a worthy alternative to the selection. Even so, Montemayorprincess is in the form of her life just now and, as she has a much more convincing profile than the rest, the Derek Hayden-Jones filly gets a confident vote here.
