A wide open bumper rounds off the card and as usual in these types of events the market will be all important but the principals look to be Lady Wilde, Linn of Dee and Parthian Shot and the vote is given to Lady Wilde. The selection was a fair fourth behind Pangbourne last time. That form has worked out well and she is given one more chance to get her head in front. Linn Of Dee rates the main danger as she hails from a yard that does well in this sphere and this Zaffaran mare, half-sister to winning chaser Newsplayer will not need to be anything special to take a hand in the finish. Parthian Shot was a fair fourth on her debut behind Karello Bay and is sure to improve so should be noted in the market. Of the rest, The Shirley Hunt showed a modicum of ability on her debut and is another that is sure to improve but in a race where the market may well tell all for the winner we return to Lady Wilde.
