This looks quite trappy and from a shortlist of Cosmodrome, Sweet Lilly and Ronaldsay we will side with Cosmodrome. The selection finished a nose behind Ronaldsay at Warwick last time out but she looks to be on her way back to her best. She has a slight pull in the weights this afternoon and although Ronaldsay is respected, our selection can reverse the form. Sweet Lily arrives here in good form and she won well at York last time, but she is fully exposed and she may have to settle for the role of bridesmaid today. John Dunlop has two runners in this field, and of the pair we prefer the claims of Elmaleeha. However, Cosmodrome is put forward as the pick.
