Jeremy Noseda is in good form so it could pay to side FLEETING STAR who is preferred to Carleton and Imprimis Tagula. The selection won at Lingfield last year and she probably needed the run on her return from a break at Goodwood last week. She has a decent draw and this progressive filly is taken to get her head in front. Carleton wasn't beaten far at Windsor last time and a reproduction of that effort would give him a chance, but he is thoroughly exposed and his high draw will make life tough. Imprimis Tagula disappointed on the turf last time but he is better on the all-weather and he has a fair draw. Mudhish has the plum draw and he has been running with plenty of consistency and he looks to have solid place prospects. Fleeting Star is unexposed and she can win again.
