Tom Dascombe's Naughty Thoughts won well last time and she is taken to score again; Fongs Gazelle and Stringsofmyheart are the others to consider. There was plenty to like about the way Naughty Thoughts quickened up to score last time and as she seemed to win with a bit in hand we are confident she can go in again. Fongs Gazelle shaped witth plenty of promise last time and she looks like she might now be ready to hit top form, so she could give our selection a race. Stringsofmyheart beat Our Kes here last time and she still looks to be on a fair mark, so she is another that can go close. Cape Velvet is consistent and the yard are in decent form so she has each-way claims, but for the winner we will stick with Naughty Thoughts.
