In depth
Verdict
Plenty of unexposed types in opposition and marginal preference goes to Letsimpress while Lunar Wind, Multiple Choice and Louisdae are others to consider. Jamie Osbourne's charge landed a maiden in Ireland back in May and hasn't been disgraced since being switched to his current connections in the UK. The daughter of General Monash put up a fair effort when runner-up behind the smart Kinnaird in a conditions event at Hamilton in June and a repeat performance may suffice of a fair mark on her handicap debut. Lunar Wind, who landed a Yarmouth maiden in May, met a well treated rival when a close second over this trip at Leicester last time out and has to be feared despite shouldering top weight. Multiple Choice ran well when third here last time but is now 5lb higher and could prove vulnerable while Louisdae, a narrow Haydock maiden winner in early June, is open to further improvement but has been absent since so Letsimpress is the percentage call.
