Five of the last seven fillies to win this race never won again so those superstitious owners may want to cover their eyes as we select the regally-bred newcomer LEOCORNO ahead of Ballet Dancer, Tricky Situation and Teeky. A half-sister to Golan and to Tartan Bearer amongst others, this daughter of Pivotal makes her racecourse debut late in the season. The market often points the way to the chances of the stables newcomers (4 from 28 with juveniles at track in recent years) and a big run could be forthcoming. Aim To Achieve races in Alex Ferguson's colours, Peintre D'Argent is likely to need more time judged by her relatives, whilst Ballet Dancer represents Michael Jarvis who has a very profitable 5 from 12 record in recent years with his two-year-olds. Queen Eleanor and Teeky are expected to step up on average first runs, whilst Tricky Situation ran well on debut at Nottingham and looks the pick of James Given's pair. Leocorno stands out and assuming the market signs are positive she is expected to oblige.
