This is a trappy affair and none of the five runners can be ruled out, but we will narrow it down to Leroy's Sister and Darjeeling with the vote going to the first mentioned. The selection hails from the in-form Paul Nicholls yard and ran well when finishing third behind Cherokee Bay at Folkestone last time out. She should appreciate this return to a faster surface and with Mick Fitzgerald in the plate she looks to have a solid chance of getting her head in front. Darjeeling looks progressive and she ran well when second behind Petite Margot over 2m6f last time. The drop back to this trip will be a help and she rates the main danger. Emerald Express won well last time but will find this tougher, while Lady Racquet was still travelling well when she fell last time out. Queen Soraya was well beaten last time and will need to improve, but for the winner we return to Leroy's Sister.
