Verdict
FREE AS A LARK may favour this trip and we cautiously side with Chris Wall's filly to win here, however Top Tigress and Whisper Wind could progress further here and should be closely watched. Free As A Lark stayed on at Nottingham last time out and there is scope for improvement given her pedigree. She finished only seventh of ten in her debut but she was slowly in to her stride and will come on for this experience. Top Tigress comes from a top yard and can be expected to improve as a three-year-old but a poor run last time out when finishing ninth at this track does not sway our vote in her favour. With Ryan Moore on board again Sir Michael Stoute must think there is winning potential in Top Tigress, but there are others that are favourable today. Mont Ras and Whisper Wind could be suggested as alternatives; however the conditions may not entirely suit them both. This is a wide open field and with little to go on, we tentatively designate Free As A Lark as our selection.
