Fatal Attraction looks the pick of the older runners in this contest having stepped up on her debut effort when a fair fourth behind La Zamora at Musselburgh last month and Rae Guest's fillies always warrant respect but AVERTOR has an obvious chance and is preferred with Acrosstheuniverse rated the best of the rest. The selection made a promising debut when chasing home Sioux Rising in a Pontefract maiden last month and a reproduction of form shown that day should suffice for Roger Charlton's gelding today. Dilli Dancer ran creditably on her Salisbury debut last month and she has to be respected, while She's In The Money ran well on her debut at Pontefract but disappointed when finishing last of the nine runners at Newmarket subsequently. Jeremy Gask's Acrosstheuniverse has run well in both starts so far and she has to be considered but it is hard to get away from Avertor, who gets the vote.
