In depth
Verdict
Scudding is preferred to At The Beach on these terms though neither threatened the winner on their latest starts and a newcomer may prove good enough. Baileys Showgirl is related to winners in France and could go well along with Enigmatic but PRANCELEYA is preferred. Marco Botti’s filly is a half-sister to a couple of winning sprinters including Kyllach Me, who has scored three times on the all-weather, and gets the vote.
