Verdict
Royal Fantasy is sure to be popular with punters here but we prefer the claims of Cinematic who is nominated over Baan. The Jamie Spencer factor will attract plenty of punters on to Royal Fantasy but she is not the most straightforward and she will need some luck from her high draw. The value could therefore come from Cinematic who has the plum draw here and he can reverse placings with Royal Fantasy from their recent meeting at Lingfield. Baan was beaten here on Monday and could only plug-on in mid-division so he will need to improve on that to get competitive on this occasion. Chia has a good draw and is a course and distance winner so this filly can go well at a price, but Cinematic has solid claims and he can land the prize.
