Mac Dalia, Orange Square and East Coast Girl are the three we like in this seller and narrow preference is for Mac Dalia. The selection ran well for a long way here last time in a race won by Rapidity and now that she is eased into this grade and dropped in trip she looks worth siding with. Orange Square won in this grade last time at Wolverhampton but he made hard work of it and he doesn't appear to be the most genuine. East Coast Girl is lightly-raced and she drops into this grade for the first time so she is certainly worth considering. Captain Crooner hails from a yard in good form and he could prove best of the others, but for the winner we will stick with Mac Dalia.
