Montrachet is a course and distance winner but Pritti Fabulous seemed to get this trip ok last time and can go one better today; Talk Of Saafend may prove to be the biggest danger. William Haggas continues to hit the bull¿s-eye, maintaining a remarkable 22% strike-rate on the level this year. The selection, a daughter of Invincible Spirit is proven on a softer surface and on this easy track should see out this mile for victory. Lekita is fairly inconsistent so along with Maybe I Will can therefore be taken on accordingly. A bigger danger may prove to be Talk Of Saafend who has taken her racing well this season and is sure to be on the premises. Challow Hills needs to improve on recent outings, whilst Miss Emma May drops in class but probably has a tough task under top-weight. The consistent Mekong Melody is yet another to consider in an open race; however it is Priti Fabulous who receives the vote.
