Orama's Ghost gets our vote ahead of Beech Games and Blue Eyed Eloise. The selection was heavily backed on more than one occasion on her five starts for Sir Michael Stoute and has clearly proved disappointing. She's joined a shrewd yard though and could be a class apart from these rivals if they can persuade her to translate her homework to the track. Beech Games ran well against a progressive rival last time but hasn't always been the most willing partner and Blue Eyed Eloise could emerge as a bigger danger if she can build on her latest showing which was a personal best. Last Chance Dance is worth a market check but Orama's Ghost appeals as the likeliest winner.
