Stringsofmyheart can complete the hat-trick here with Jill Dawson and Granary rated as the main dangers. The selection could not be in better form and Gay Kelleway's filly looks progressive, so there is every reason to think she can defy a penalty today. Jill Dawson ran well on her seasonal reappearance when she was squeezed for room so she has obvious claims off the back of that effort. She goes well fresh and she should give our selection a race. Granary looks a progrerssive type and although she was a little disappointing last time, she has got some solid form and Henry Candy's filly is not one to dismiss lightly. Walter Swinburn's Idesia could prove best of the others as she is lightly-raced, but for the winner we will stick with Stringsofmyheart.
