Sharaby just edges the narrow vote here over Coconut Squeak and Elrafa Mujahid. The selection was well clear of the rest of the field when a good second behind Why Now at Southwell last time. She has been knocking on the door without getting her head in front of late, but the booking of Frankie Dettori catches the eye and she should be capable of taking her turn today. Coconut Squeak was a good second behind the progressive Bird Over at Wolverhampton last time, and as she has since gone on to frank the form twice, Stef Liddiard's filly is entitled to plenty of respect. Elrafa Mujahid did not get the best of runs when finishing down the field at Windsor last time, and her previous efforts would give her a good solid each-way chance. Peters Delite ran well when second behind Briannsta at Chester last week, so he is another with a chance, but we will stick with Sharaby as our idea of the winner.
