A chance is taken with the unexposed All Ivory, who is selected over May Morning and Orpendonna. The last named shaped up well on the All Weather during the winter but does not look the most resolute finisher. She may improve for the switch to turf and, with her yard in such good form, a bold bid cannot be ruled out from her. May Morning was unlucky enough to come up against a well regarded type at Bath on her reappearance, but still finished well clear of the rest. She has obviously trained on and looks the best alternative if the market throws up any negatives about All Ivory. However, the Roger Charlton-trained selection races in the same colours as May Morning's conqueror at Bath and it is safe to assume that plenty of homework has been done since his latest start. That was a significant improvement from his debut run and, with all things considered, All Ivory is fancied to continue to thrive with a bold show today.
