Roxanne Mill, Whistler and Taboor look to be the principles here and the vote is given to Roxanne Mill. The selection is on a very handy mark and ran with plenty of promise at Musselburgh last time behind the well-regarded Catch The Cat. The Milton Bradley string are in good form at present and from a good draw and with Ryan Moore in the plate he looks the one to beat. Whistler hails from the same yard and is a course and distance winner, and although he could go well, his stablemate is narrowly preferred on this occasion. Taboor hinted that his turn would not be far away with a good second behind Whistler at Sandown last time and if the market speaks in his favour then it could pay to take the hint. Nivernais is from a yard in form and has plenty going for him here so is another worth a second look in the market, but for the winner we return to Roxanne Mill.
