Verdict
Stargem, Festive Chimes and Firenze are the three to concentrate on here with the vote given to the last mentioned. The selection made a promising racecourse debut despite finishing down the field behind Tregarron at Newbury. She is sure to come on for that run and she should benefit from the drop in grade and the slight step up in trip. Stargem rates the main danger on and she ran well on her seasonal reappearance behind King's Caprice. She looks a nice sort and again is sure to run her race. Festive Chimes improved on her debut effort when running well at Catterick last time and as she looks to be going the right way she has to be shortlisted in this open affair. Trrodos Jet is from a yard in form so a watching brief on the market is advised but we will side with Firenze as our idea of the winner.
