Singleton stands out in a race that lacks strength in depth and Henry Cecil's charge should prevail with some ease while Super Cannes and Marie Laurencin should do battle for the forecast position unless newcomer Targa is above average. The selection made a highly promising debut when chasing home a more experienced rival over ten furlongs here earlier in the month, giving the strong impression that the step up to today's trip will suit ideally. With the experience under her belt, the daughter of Singspiel will prove hard to beat and she can land this before making her mark in decent handicap company. Super Cannes hails from a successful family and is entitled to progress having shown a useful level of ability to finish third in a Thirsk maiden over this trip on her recent debut. Marie Laurencin was weak in the market when finishing well behind the selection on her initial start but ran better than her final placing suggests and Roger Charlton's filly can finish closer on this occasion.
