In depth

Verdict

Mon Petite Amour and Trysting Grove have live claims but My Mirasol makes more appeal. The selection has won here three times and has yet to finish out of the money in seven starts. She's well drawn to employ her front-running tactics and has man-of-the-moment Chris Catlin to do the steering. There are no flies on Don Cantillon and she's expected to go close. With three penalised runners in the field, this looks fiercely competitive and Mon Petite Amour and Trysting Grove merit particular respect following decisive displays last time. That pair appeal more than Ruffie who looks opposable tonight but My Mirasol is the one that takes the eye.
