Verdict
A wide open bumper rounds off the card and as usual in these types of events the market will be all important but the principals look to be Simply Mystic, Harringay and Illicium and the tentative vote goes to Harringay. The selection is from a yard that does well in this sphere and is a filly by Sir Harry Lewis so is sure to know her job on this her debut. Simply Mystic rates the main danger as he was a fair third behind Word Gets Around last time and that form looks solid. Ilicium is a well bred sort but has only shown a little to date but at least has experience. Of the remainder Little Chartridge is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market, but for the winner we return to Harringay.
