Onatopp can get her reward for a string of consistent efforts and she is nominated over Tremelo Pointe and Kunte Kinteh. The selection was only narrowly beaten despite finishing fourth behind Society Music at Thirsk last time. That is solid form and if she can run up to that mark again here then she should go close. Tremelo Pointe dead-heated with Mount Hermon at Lingfield last time and this lightly-raced filly has to be afforded respect. Kunte Kinteh has his optimum ground conditions but he has yet to prove that he fully sees out this trip. Nan Best has not been done any favours by the draw, and for the winner we will return to Onatopp.
