Now the Candy yard is in such good form Great Orator has to be given avery chance on his debut, however on this occasion we will side with the John Gosden trained Prithee, with Breathing Fire also expected to go well. The selection has raced since April when just getting beaten by the 76 rated Parisette. She obviously has needed time to mature and with plenty of scope for improvement she could be good enough to beat these. Great Orator is nicely bred by Bahri, and is related to numerous winners. Candy as we know can have one ready first time and this one would not have to be a superstar to take this. Breathing Fire was runner up in a very competitive handicap last time and will be very hard to keep out of the frame. So in a race where the betting market will be invaluable, Prithee is the one carrying our hopes.
