Confidentiality has hit form with a vengeance and can make it four wins on the bounce, Royal Envoy and Keisha Kayleigh look to be the best alternatives. Michael Wigham's filly has won at all three all-weather tracks, completing the hat-trick with a smooth success over course and distance. There looked to be plenty left in the tank and she is hard to oppose this afternoon. Royal Envoy returned to winning ways last time out, with a deserved victory at Kempton. She has also gone well here in the past off higher marks and should again figure in the finish. Keisha Kayleigh has earned top-weight with some strong efforts this season and can never be easily dismissed. If fit from his long break Todwick Owl is another that could go well, however it is hard to ignore Confidentiality in this mood and she gets our vote.
