Salsadar gets the vote here over Hazarayna and Spiderback. The selection showed plenty of promise on her debut when a useful second behind Actodos at Southwell. She is sure to come on for the run as the stable's runners have tended to need their first outing and with nominal improvement she should prove tough to beat. Hazarayna is an interesting newcomer from the Henry Cecil yard and this well-bred filly is certainly worth noting in the market with her yard in good form. Spiderback showed improved form for the step-up in trip last time at Windsor and although he is more exposed than most of these, this does not look a strong contest and he has to enter calculations. Just An Angel and Laughing Game are from top yards and are others to consider, but for the winner we will stick with Salsadar.
