A decent looking nursery with three last time out winners, Rules For Jokers, Mirasol Princess and Danzig River, lining up in the 14-strong field and the vote goes to the last mentioned. The Barry Hills-trained colt followed up a comfortable success over useful yardstick Truly Wonderful at Bath with a similarly cosy success over another in-form juvenile Free Trip at Newmarket last week and is taken to defy a 7lb penalty. Jamie Osborne's Rules For Jokers is also on a hat trick following wins at Haydock and Pontefract but has it to do with the selection on a line through Free Trip. Mirasol Princess has also won her last two starts and is another to carry a 7lb penalty for her latest success. However, she has yet to prove her effectiveness over six furlongs, having done all of her racing over the minimum trip and is probably best watched. Bonne De Fleur lost no caste in defeat behind Disco Diva at Leicester last time and warrants respect although 5lb rise since then seems harsh. Spring Dancer holds claims on the pick of her form off her lightweight and is another worthy of a mention but Danzig River is improving rapidly at present and gets the vote.
