We have to take a chance here with the fitness of Bronze Star but she is selected to beat Fairdonna and Dab Hand. James Fanshawe's filly contested a decent Yarmouth maiden won by Dictatrix. Numerous winners have come out of that contest so the form is rock solid and she looks the best option. Fairdonna made a very pleasing debut at Windsor recently, finishing a close up fifth behind Star Crowned. She is open to plenty of improvement and will be hard to keep out of the frame. Dab Hand went well in a handicap off a mark of 66 last time and should go well back in maiden company. Biggin Hill and Pleasing Gift both showed plenty of promise first time out and should improve, however Bronze Star probably has the best form on show and she gets our vote.
