Verdict
Lady Suesanne is narrowly selected ahead of Mademoiselle and White Bear. The selection ran a fair race in banded company when chasing home Sierra over today's trip. This represented a step up on her most recent levels of form and compensation can await her this afternoon. Mademoiselle is a rare runner from the Barry Hills yard. She has won over a mile on the turf but has not totally appeared to appreciate it on an all-weather surface. White Bear is stepped up to a mile. He stayed on adequately over seven furlongs although he has had an awful lot of chances to break his maiden in the past. Gallego was disappointing on his last start and does himself few favours with tardy exits from the lids. Prince Of Gold represents a combination that are in good form at the moment and the market is closely examined. Lady Suesanne is accordingly selected.
