Filligree is the least exposed of these and had a pleasing seasonal debut effort when third at Lingfield on his handicap debut while the stiffer six furlong trip should suit. He gets the confident vote to land this handicap. Party In The Park had very smart juvenile form last season but appears as if he has not progressed as would have been expected. Pantherii drops back to 6f but the stiff nature of the distance will no doubt be right up her street. Jockey bookings suggest Night Premiere is the better fancied of the Hannon pair. She lost her position over the sharp 6f at Lingfield last time before battling on in the closing stages. Filligree is the pick to come home in front.
