This looks an easy opportunity for Gypsy Fair to lose her maiden tag, with Juniper Banks and Canadian Danehill the two likely dangers. The selection has put in three solid displays this year, including an excellent second to Cerebus over the course and distance last time. She only went down by half a length with the third well beaten. The form has been backed up by the fourth home, who was successful on Monday and she looks well worth a wager. Juniper Banks makes a quick return to the racecourse having finished down the field at Wolverhampton on Monday. He is better than that form suggests and it would be no surprise to see him involved in the finish here. Canadian Danehill has been running with credit this season, but does have a bit to find with the selection on a line through Cerebus. Best of the others may be Top Place, but Gypsy Fair is hard to oppose here and gets a confident vote.
