Danehillsundance gets the vote ahead of Emerald Wilderness, Parisian Dream and Fragrancy. The selection has been given a little break since his most recent win and should be ready to rock and roll once again. He has won over a mile before but the only slight doubt is whether the uphill finish here will really suit, however he is progressive and has shown a battling attitude in the past. Emerald Wilderness certainly stays very well, and formerly a frustrating sort for Mick Channon, he has blossomed since joining Ed Dunlop. That was a decent effort in a very hot Goodwood handicap when last seen and he should run a big race here, especially now reunited with Frankie Dettori. The Grey Berry has paid with the handicapper for his hat-trick of wins this year, whilst Fragrancy is an inconsistent filly but certainly has ability. Parisian Dream only lost out in a photograph at Newmarket and will appreciate today's quick ground, and with Jamie Spencer booked, he should go very close. Honest Prospector is a colt on the upgrade and is starting to fulfil his huge price tag, whilst Medici Pearl represents a shrewd stable and must be respected. All in all this looks a fascinating three-year-old contest and the nomination goes to Danehillsundace.
