Verdict
Fantasy Fighter, Chjimes and Prize Point are similar in that they have all gone of the boil since winning late last year and Gwilym hasn't been at his best recently either. Desert Icon and Spin Again both posted miserable efforts last time after threatening a return to form so ABSA LUTTE looks by far the safest option. She's been placed over 5f at Kempton on her last two starts but has won three times over today's distance and is back on a winning mark. Dropped in class here, Michael Mullineaux's mare looks the one to beat.
