Verdict
The opener is a bit of a guessing game, with Victoria Valentine selected ahead of Ceka Dancer and Laureldean Dream Ones that get mentions on breeding are Ceka Dancer, who is by Danehill Dancer, Henry Cecil's very well-bred daughter of Green Desert - will easy going be a problem for her? - Crystany, Clive Cox's Don't Forget Faith, Michael Bell's Honky Tonk Sally, Peter Chapple-Hyam's Laureldean Dream, Brian Meehan's Redeemed, John Gosden's Town And Gown, Barry Hills' Victoria Valentine and Sir Michael Stoute's Visit. The market should tell us a lot more, not least about the vibes circulating in the town but, without all of this, we will stick with Victoria Valentine as the selection.
