Lady Algarhoud is given the tentative vote in another moderate contest with Favouring and Jun Fan rated as the main dangers. The selection is a lightly-raced filly and she made a really pleasing debut here when she beat Mytton's Bell. She failed to build on that effort last time at Southwell but she still ran with some credit and she should be too good for her rivals today. Favouring is from a leading yard and is entitled to plenty of respect, but he didn't seem to progress as expected last season and he may be better over slightly further. Jun Fan was unsuited by the soft ground last time so may be seen to better effect here, while Town House showed signs of ability last season and is another to consider. However, Lady Algarhoud sets a fair standard for the rest here and is taken to score.
