Verdict
In a tricky finale Annishirani is chosen to send punters home happy, with Baraloti and Highly Liquid taken to fight out the places. Gerard Butler's filly let her followers down when beaten at odds on by Millagross at Hamilton when last seeing a racecourse back in May, but if she is fully wound up for this, she could repay them in full. Baroloti hails from the John Gosden yard and like the selection hasn't raced for sometime, but did show enough in maidens at Windsor and Goodwood to suggest a race of this nature is well within her compass. Trousers who is starting to find his legs, and Highly Liquid from an inform yard are others to watch out for but in a race where bets should be kept on the small side Annishirani is the pick.
