Verdict
FANROUGE tackles this slightly longer trip after two victories over the minimum here and a 6lb penalty for last week's success is almost negated by her rider's claim. Four Richer showed massive improvement on his opening run to easily land a Fibresand nursery and there appears no reason why he shouldn't do it on turf. Crowning Star had been racing in much better company before scoring at Lingfield and looks the main threat to the selection as Selinda is a plater and Clarkson has shown nothing to date.
