A bit of a pinstickers' guide this one, with 16 set to face the starter, of which only five have raced before, but we'll plump for the experienced BOUVARDIA in preference to Fen Spirit and West With The Wind. Henry Cecil's runner has been second in her two outings to date, when she's been sent off as favourite. Expect her to be racing prominently, and perhaps repay the backers of her previous efforts. Fen Spirit's looking to break her maiden at the third time of asking. Another front runner, the step down to 7 furlongs could be a big assistance, together with a high draw. The pick of the debutantes looks to be West With The Wind. She's an expensive American bred filly from Peter Chapple-Hyam's yard. She could be anything, but she's likely to be supported given her breeding. The market may provide us with some clues given the number of unexposed runners, so it's only a tentative selection we'll put forward, and that's Bouvardia.
