Sweet Selection blew the start when favourite at Kempton last time but was still beaten less than a length. The extra yardage should help Hughie Morrison's filly today and she'll make a bold bid to recoup losses if getting away on terms but others have similar claims. COUNTERPROOF improved markedly on his first run when third to Wolf Albari over track and trip last month and that is probably just better form than Whitchurch's latest third at Kempton, though he did finish ahead of Niblawi that day, who was in front of Sweet Selection next time. The others all need to step up on what they've achieved so far to figure.
