Musleh, Sequillo and Multakka are all sure to have their supporters here but we will take a chance and side with FANCY FOOTSTEPS as our pick. The selection won over this course and distance with plenty in hand last time and this progressive filly can score again from a positive high draw. The draw has not been quite so kind for Multakka who does boast some decent recent form at this venue, but he will need luck to score from stall 1. Sequillo ran a shocker on his only previous effort here so he is hard to recommend off the back of that, although he does have some solid turf form to his name. Musleh is two from two at this venue and he does look to be a progressive colt, but he is another who has been done no favours by the draw. An open handicap and the vote goes to Fancy Footsteps.
