Verdict
This is a good quality contest and from a shortlist of Look Busy, Princess Ellis, Mondovi and Temple of Thebes we will side with Look Busy. The selection is a progressive filly and she has won her last two races in good style. She is up in class today but she is a smart type and she has shaped as though she could be up to making this leap in grade. Princess Ellis won well last time when he beat Circuit Dancer in a handicap and he could be capable of making the frame on ground that will suit. Mondovi won a handicap in good style last time and she has plenty of scope for improvement, so it will be interesting to see how Nicky Vaughan's filly gets on here. Temple of Thebes has been in good form but this drop in trip is not sure to suit, and we will stick with Look Busy as the pick.
