Verdict
Army Of One is an obvious player as she's been beaten less than a length on both starts this term and runs off just a 1lb higher mark for a close second to Boy George at Windsor. The main concern is that she's still 0-12 on the Flat and 0-7 over timber, but this is a modest contest and does represents a decent opportunity for her to come good. Mohassana has also yet to visit the winner's circle but the best of her form brings her into contention, although it must be noted that this is her first-ever start on Turf. However, it's PERFECT MYTH who makes most appeal as - like Army Of One - she has a close second to Boy George on her CV, but has gone on to deliver a very decent fourth in a stronger race at Windsor latest. Sideshift has shown nothing for his current yard but needs a market check.
