My Selection:-
I got this race wrong last year, having fancied Sariska all since her York win I deserted her on the day and 12 months on it looks the same, as I have been a fan of Aviate since her Kempton win but just do not see this track or trip likely to pay to her strengths, also like Timepeace who is a lovely looking filly but I have stamina doubts with her and find myself being swayed to Remember When who is closely related to Dylan Thomas, will stay this trip and ran a fine 4th in the Irish 1000 Guineas and at 8/1 looks a good each way bet.
Of the rest Ceilidh House at 12/1 could run a big race.
So Selection is:- Remember When 8/1 e/w and have a little saver on Ceilidh House at 12/1
Result:-
1 Snow Fairy 9/1
2 Meeznah 25/1
3 Remember When 8/1
