Verdict
Sunridge Fairy's winning run came to an end last time she finished fourth to Gabor at Plumpton but the three-year-old is respected in this moderate company. John Mackie's stable has been quiet of late but Impish Jude would go close in this easier race after finishing down the field behind Jaboune and some other decent types. Magical Day has been beaten by some bad horses of late and may lack a turn of foot. Very few others can be considered and TEAMtalk's selection has to be Sunridge Fairy.
