In depth
Verdict
Mick Channon's Noorain ran promisingly on her Windsor debut but might be worth taking on at the forecast odds and preference is for Miss Cassia, who gets the vote over Encanto. The selection hails from the in-form stable of Richard Hannon and showed at Lingfield last time that her time would be coming soon. Value Plus has shown a consistent level of form in Ireland and again on his British debut at Hamilton last month and is entitled to respect, along with Milton Bradley's Ruby's Dream. Both are becoming exposed now though and of more interest may be Encanto, who has shown improvement with each start since making her debut in May. Fulke Johnson Houghton is capable of sending one out to win first time out so Bridge T'The Stars has to be respected, along with Jamie Osbourne's Mind Games filly Scrooby Baby but the vote goes to Miss Cassia to give Richard Hannon another juvenile winner.
