The penalised pair set a good standard, both representing yards which have made cracking starts to the season. The formbook indicates there's little between them but MRS PEACHEY, a recent Towcester winner, is the preferred option as her penultimate outing when runner-up to the progressive Lord Grantham reads especially well. She only shades the vote narrowly over Emily's Flyer though. The latter received a shrewd front-running ride from her amateur pilot at Exeter last time and the combination will presumably attempt to replicate those tactics here. So Cheeky looks next best despite returning from an absence of over 200 days.
