In depth
Verdict
Ballybunion, Blue Moon Hitman and Millinsky look the three best prospects here and we will take a chance on the last named. Rae Guest's four-year-old was a shade unfortunate to come up against some decent rivals last season and couldn't quite get her head in front where it mattered. Once again she found one too good last time when chasing home Come Away With Me. Following two runs this season she should be spot on and looks the percentage call today. Ballybunion was a game winner at Carlisle last time but on official ratings he should struggle to give weight to the selection. Meanwhile Blue Moon Hitman has been performing with credit on the all-weather and if he can transfer that form to the turf he will be a danger to all. Majestical looks the pick of the remainder, but Millinsky looks well treated here and gets our vote.
