Foxies Future gets the vote in the opener ahead of Queen Of Night and Feast Of Romance. The selection won over course and distance here just over a year ago and some of his form since then would be more than good enough to see him get involved in today's argument as he drops to selling company for the first time. Roan Raider has yet to show much on this surface and it's a long time since Heathyards Blessing won. Fulvio is generally consistent on all-weather surfaces and his first run here last time was fair. Queen Of Night's overall form sees her firmly on the shortlist of possibles for this, and she is a course and distance scorer. Afford her a lot of respect. That same comment applies to Feast Of Romance, whose 10 wins include a course and distance success and who has recent form enough to be considered in this seller. Of the others, Man Crazy has improved of late and a repeat of her course and distance claiming run last time would give her a chance, but first-time headgear would have to bring about a lot of improvement from Bijou Dancer and New Day Dawning for either of them to feature here, while Sabana has place claims if he is at his best. Overall, though, we will side with Foxies Future.
