Georgie The Fourth looks the one to be with here and the list of dangers is headed by Princess Raya and Music Party. The selection hails from a yard that merits plenty of respect in these type of events and she looks the standard-bearer on the evidence of what she has shown on the racecourse so far. She has the plum draw here and she should prove tough to beat. Princess Raya is interesting as she was well-supported on her debut when she was staying-on well at the finish in fourth behind Mrs Jefferson at Kempton. She is sure to come on for the experience and she is one to note in the market. Music Party is another who showed promise on her debut when she ran very green. She will improve plenty for that introduction to the racecourse and she will also be aided by this slight step-up in trip. Dancing Abbie and Try Me are others worth a mention in a race where the market could provide the clues. But Georgie The Fourth sets a fair benchmark and she looks the most likely winner.
