Cassiara stands out in the finale and is selected ahead of Bonnet O' Bonnie and Fuschia. Quite simply, Cassiara stands out based on her second to Yaqeen in a Newmarket maiden last time, the winner being to the fore in the 1,000 Guineas betting. Bonnet O' Bonnie showed promise at Southwell last time and the Roger Charlton-trained Fuschia showed some promise on her debut and looks set to improve on that. Overall, though, Cassiara is hard to oppose and, accordingly, is the selection.
