Bella Medici appreciated the drop into selling company when successful at York last time but this looks tougher for the Mark Tompkins-trained filly and preference is for Fearless Warrior, who gets the vote ahead of Sea Chorus. The last mentioned is less exposed than most of her rivals after just three starts and Michael Bell's filly has to be respected but does need to improve to trouble the judge. Alan Jarvis has had a quiet season so his runner Lady Sorcerer may be best watched and of more interest may be David Elsworth's Fairfield Flame, who has run creditably in her last two starts. Marginal preference though is for Fearless Warrior, who has shown steady improvement in his three starts this term and he may be worth chancing in this company.
