Chevalier du Lac has won a maiden auction and a seller on Turf but TEXAS KATIE has the best form of these and also the highest rating so should be returning to winning ways if running up to her best, though is having her 16th start of the campaign. Flame Of Hope is much less exposed and may be capable of better but Madam Prancealot appears to have lost her way. Enlighten Me and Affair look best of the rest.
