Charmatic, Weecandoo and Island Rapture look to be the principles here and the vote is given to Charmatic. The selection ran really well last time out when second behind Midshipman here at Wolverhampton. She was given her head in that race and the new tactics almost saw her get her head in front. With similar tactics likely to be employed here she should take plenty of beating. Weecandoo rates the main danger as he goes well on the AW, but he was a big disappointment when last seen out on the turf and we are happy to take him on. Island Rapture was a fair fifth behind Sharp Needle at Lingfield last time, and he has been given a bit of a break following that run. He has Eddie Ahern in the plate and should go well. Rapport is from a leading yard and is quickly turned out after disappointing the other day, so he is worth noting in the market. However, for the winner we return to Charmatic.
