There is a typically large field for this moderate classified stakes race in which the tentative vote goes to the John Hills runner Fair Sailing, who is less exposed than most after just three runs, and she gets the vote ahead of Oh So Saucy and Spice Gardens. The last mentioned has shown signs of ability in four starts as a juvenile and any market support for the Willie Jarvis-trained filly would be of interest on her return. Tilsworth Charlie is a consistent performer but has only scored once from 34 starts so is hard to back with any confidence, while Elusive Dreams has every chance on official BHA ratings but has given little sign of encouragement since leaving the yard of John Gosden. Oh So Saucy is capable and relatively consistent so has to be considered but preference is for Fair Sailing, in the hope that she is fit enough for her reappearance.
