In depth
Verdict
Guadalpin is a tentative choice in a wide open contest, Now Look Away and Queue Up are also expected to be on the premises. After a spell in the doldrums the selection has returned to form on her last two outings on the all-weather. There was plenty like about her recent second to Owed over the six furlong trip, as she was poorly drawn and had to come round the field. The extra furlong looks ideal and she could be the best option here. Queue Up has shown bits and pieces of form against better opposition than this and it would be no surprise to see this one involved in the finish. Now Look Away has a bit to find with the selection on running here but should appreciate this longer trip and could get into the places. Desert Lover and Robury are two others worthy of a mention, but Guadalpin is an improving filly and should be followed.
