Chamoss Royale, Rakassa, Lalagune and No More Money look the principles in this opener and we will side with Lalagune. The selection fell last time out behind Time To Shine at Ascot and as she was travelling well at the time she looks a live contender here. The ground was a little fast for her on that day and providing she gets this trip she will take all the beating. Chamoss Royale rates the main danger as this filly from the Paul Nicholls yard won last time out in France and if the market vibes are positive then she should go well on her British debut. Rakassa ran well enough when second behind Wimbledonian last time at Folkestone to be competitive here, while No More Money ran a fair race at Exeter last time behind Henrietta and she could be capable of running on into a place. This looks a competitive race to open the card and Lalagune is put forward as the tentative choice.
