Auntie Mame can continue her winning ways at the expense of Merrymadcap and Ryans Future. The selection is five pound higher since winning on her seasonal reappearance over course and distance. She looked progressive last season and if she continues to do the same this year she will win more races. Merrymadcap has been running well in defeat of late. He caught the eye when second to Paraquay at Goodwood last time out and is sure to be in the frame once again. Ryans Future is another that is consistent but since winning over course and distance in April he may be within the grip of the handicapper. So for the winner we return to Auntie Mame.
