Cemgraft, Fuss and Little Venus are the three to concentrate on here and the vote is given to Cemgraft. The selection was a fair sort on the flat and this mare made a pleasing debut over hurdles behind Philomena at Fontwell last time. She will have no problems with the ground today and with improvement likely she sets the benchmark for the rest. Fuss rates the main danger as she hails from the Phillip Hobbs yard and she ran okay when fourth in that same Fontwell race behind Philomena. She looks held by our selection on that running and although she should make the frame a place is probably her best hope today. Little Venus has not shown much in her three runs so far but there is every chance that she more to offer and she is certainly one to note in the market. Robert Alner's Rowlands Dream could prove best of the rest but she was a little disappointing at Lingfield last time when she failed to build on a good effort at Uttoxeter behind Sweet Oona. This is a fascinating little contest and the vote is given to Cemgraft.
