Jackie Kiely has been in fine form of late and is taken to continue winning ways at the main expense of The Gaikwar and The Player. The selection has won two of her last three starts, both in competitive big-field handicaps, and has an obvious chance off just a 4lb higher mark for her latest success at Chepstow. Jubilee Dream would not appear to be particularly well treated for his debut in this grade, while Mythical Charm has struggled off his new mark since winning back-to-back handicaps at Lingfield and here last month. Bundaberg disappointed last time but has claims on earlier form although a bigger threat is likely to come from The Gaikwar, who is a consistent performer but keeps on finding at least one too good. The handicapper has given Andrew Balding's The Player a good chance but Jackie Kiely is in good form at present and she gets the vote.
