Let's take a chance on Tokyo Jo here, who is selected ahead of Path To Glory and Smash N'Grab. Having won in a first-time visor last season, Tokyo Jo, who holds claims on her best form, is not ruled out of repeating the dose in first time cheekpieces. Time For Change holds claims on his spring form, and Path To Glory kept on over course and distance last time and can't be ruled out of a good run in such a modest race. Ravenhill Ralph showed improvement over 10 furlongs at Chepstow last time and, unexposed, is another to consider. Smash N'Grab at least knows how to win a race in recent times and comes into it on that basis. Finally, up in trip today, Nou Camp is a potential improver but for the selection, we return to Tokyo Jo.
