    Verdict

    The selection here is Waterline Twenty, with Rag Tag and Past Tender mainly respected from the other trio. The selection won well here on her debut and has not been disgraced in much better company since, including when seventh in the Queen Mary Stakes. That type of form makes her the one they all have to beat today. Rag Tag caused a surprise when winning over course and distance last time but, given that he is effective on this going at this track, he comes into the equation, while Past Tender hails from a yard doing well with its juveniles and he seemed to be improving when third at Chester last time and can go well again. Finally, African Concerto showed improvement on his second start last time, but will need to keep it coming, which returns us to the selection, which is Waterline Twenty.
