Lily La Belle makes most appeal in this moderate contest; the list of dangers is headed by Oberows Lady and Say Anything. The selection was far from disgraced at Southwell last time in a race won by Louisiade and she should be suited by this drop in trip. She is no good thing, but she should be capable of going close in this company. Oberows Lady has already gone close at this level and from a good draw she is certainly one to consider. Say Anything would have claims on her best form but she hasn't won a race since 2005 and she is hard to recommend with confidence. Cadogen Square should be suited by the return to this trip and she may prove best of the others, but for the winner we will stick with Lily La Belle.
