Verdict
Another very open event where betting should be kept to a minimum we will give a speculative vote to Priorina, Ellens Princess and Muddy may provide most danger. The selection has been in good form recently, admittedly in sellers, however this is a very weak affair and she doesn't look too harshly treated. Ellen's Princess is from a top yard but has shown her best form on the all-weather. However her recent poor efforts on turf have seen her handicap mark drop considerably and she shouldn't be dismissed lightly. Neville Callaghan's Muddy has strong claims on his recent fifth at Epsom behind Lady Hen and Pragmatica a recent runner up behind Show Me The Lolly is also worthy of a mention. However Priorina looks the pick of the weights today and just edges the decision.
