Verdict
A wide open seller here and many would have chances on their best form but the principals look to be Danehill Fairy, Maureen's Lough, Riverweld, Songgaria and Kissing A Fool, and the tentative vote goes to Danehill Fairy. The selection was a a fair third behind Princely Vale last time out, that form has since been franked and with the step up in trip sure to suit she will be hard to beat. Maureen's Lough rates the main danger on her win over Dan's Heir a couple of runs ago but on her running behind Princely Vale last time out she has a little to find with the selection. Riverweld is another that is closely matched with Princely Vale and has definite place claims but any rain may hinder his chance.Of the remainder Songgaria and Kissing A Fool are from yards in form and are worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Danehill Fairy.
