It is not often Frankie Dettori sits on a Michael Stoute horse and the combination team up with Poise, who can win this from Michabo and One of Distinction. This well bred daughter of Rainbow Quest put up a terrific performance on her only juvenile start, chasing home the prolific winner Silk Fan. This is a much easier task and if anywhere near fit following a long absence, she should land this prize. Michabo was a disappointing favourite at Kempton last time, but had previously chased home Double Aspect at Salisbury and could be the main threat to the selection. The newcomer One Of Distinction is related to numerous winners, including Man Of Distinction, and should be noted in the betting market. The rest have little to recommend them, so this looks any easy task for Poise who is a confident choice.
