Hot Property and Torba have both shown ability from limited opportunities but Cactus Rose is easily the form pick and a reproduction of his latest close second in a better race at Windsor earlier this month should suffice in this company. Jaffna has given little sign of encouragement in three starts in bumpers or two outings under flat racing rules, while Vive La Chasse has been well held in both starts in maidens so far and of more interest has to be Willie Muir's Hot Property, who has shown some signs of ability in both outings so far. The Evan Williams-trained Torba made a pleasing debut over two furlongs further on her debut and has to be considered but Cactus Rose is the clear form pick and he gets the vote.
