FLAMBEAU looks a filly to be reckoned with this year on the evidence of her recent win at Leicester. She romped clear of some useful rivals to win by four lengths eased down in that Listed event and Henry Candy's filly can take this on the way to better things. Dever Dream beat the selection on the nod over 6f last July but has yet to prove she's made the same sort of progress as her old rival, while Pyrrha won this contest last year on her seasonal debut. She beat Golden Stream on that occasion and a line through the latter gives Tropical Paradise every chance. Eucharist has the better form over today's trip than Perfect Tribute and could prove best of the three-year-olds, but French raider Green Dandy is facing a tough task.
