Tour d'Amour, Just Lille and Jenny Soba catch the eye here and Just Lille is the selection. Tour d'Amour won twice on the all weather this year and has been placed recently in similar contest to today's. His chance is respected but he may find one or two of these too good. After wins at Haydock and Ayr, Just Lille was denied the hat trick at Thirsk last time. She remains in good heart though, finishing third there, and can go well. Jenny Soba is a daughter of the classy Observatory, and although still a maiden, looks well treated here after placed efforts in each of her last three starts. Just Lille has won races though, and that fact gives her the nod.
