In depth

Verdict

Proxenia will be difficult to beat off this weight and gets the verdict ahead of Mocha Java and High Octave. Richard Hannon's filly has been a model of consistency and ran her race again last time when chasing home Bling at Salisbury. The extra distance today should not be a problem and she will be hard to beat off just eight stone two. Mocha Java is a son of Bertolini. He hails from a yard that is very capable of getting one ready first time out and she should be watched closely in the betting. High Octave improved on his debut run to finish just over two lengths behind Keats at Chepstow last time and will be difficult to keep out of the money. Storm Of Arabia is another newcomer to watch in the market, but Proxenia is easily the form choice and is hard to oppose.
