This is the feature race on the card with some talented individuals on show, Rich Affair will have many supporters, as will Mystic Mile, but for the selection it has to be Itemise. Mark Johnston¿s filly is relatively lightly raced this season but has shown a decent level of form on every occasion. Her most recent foray to the racecourse was in a very competitive handicap at the Leger meeting where she was just touched off by Shabernak, showing that a valuable prize is well within her grasp. Mystic Mile is housed at the inform Michael Jarvis stable and comes here a fresh horse having had just two outings this season, the first in May when a promising third behind Saint Alebe, and most recently a staying on fourth to Hasanpour in a decent handicap at Hamilton. She is certain to improve for that run and rates a very big danger. Michael Stoute has a line to many of the other runners and Rich Affair, successful here at Yarmouth back in August, must enter calculations. However Itemise is taken to come out on top today, with Rich Affair selected as the main danger.
