A tricky race for punters to call with Red Sahara, Telefonica and Go Between all worthy of consideration, but the nomination is given to Red Sahara. The selection failed to settle last time at Leicester behind Madamoiselle Jones, but the drop back to 7 furlongs is a big plus here and as she had previously won well at Newbury over this trip when defeating Go Between she looks the one to beat. There is no obvious reason why those placings with Go Between should be reversed, although the latter may have needed that run at Newbury as she was returning from a break. Telefonica was also returning from a break at Newmarket last time when well beaten behind Moon Dazzle. But she had shown promise in her two runs last season and she may have just needed that outing at Newmarket last month. Lady Georgina won well last time and is another worth considering, but we are happy to stick with Red Sahara as our idea of the winner.
