Verdict
Shyjack's recent narrow defeat here makes him the pick of the Dunnett trio but others are preferred, with the top four all course winners. Chetan gained his last win on grass here in the summer of 2016 and put in a decent shift the last day when a Windsor runner-up and is respected along with Daring Guest who now sports cheekpieces for the first time after a string of rather low-key efforts. Moi Aussie has ability at this level but is increasingly hard to catch right so LA ISLA BONITA is the one to be with. She was never able to settle into a smooth rhythm when beaten at Lingfield but was previously impressive when scooting away to score here over course and distance on the forecast quick ground. Daniel Muscott was in the plate that day and is back on board the Foxwedge filly again.
