A very competitive event where Scottish Exile, Green Manalishi and Borzoi Maestro can all be given a chance, but we will take a chance on Mirasol Princess. Dean Ivory's handicappers are in tremendous form and this daughter of Ali Royal will be spot on for this after showing promise behind Lincoln Dancer last time. She scored four times over this trip last season and as long as the ground has dried sufficiently, she should make a bold bid. Scottish Exile travels down form Karl Burke's yard and is in great heart after a recent Hamilton success. Meanwhile Green Manalishi comes into the equation after finishing runner up in two decent events. However the main rival could be Borzoi Maestro who finished close behind the selection when they met here in September and is a lot better off at the weights. But the form of the Ivory yard sways us towards Mirasol Princess and she gets our approval.
