Indian Maiden, Dizzy Dreamer and Nidhaal form the shortlist in this competitive event and the vote is given to Indian Maiden. The selection is on a hat-trick bid here and the manner of her recent Group 3 success in France when she beat Eisteddfod suggests that she should be up to taking a race of this quality. Dizzy Dreamer has had a difficult season after being raised 18lb following her sixth placing in the Cheveley Park Stakes last autumn. However, she won impressively in a handicap last time and although this is tougher she may be capable of giving our selection a race. Nidhaal is eased in grade and she does have the ability to win this but she has been a little disappointing of late and she can't be backed with any confidence. Ooh Aah Camara goes well on this track and although there is a danger she may be outclassed, she could go well at a big each-way price. However, for the winner we will stick with the classy Indian Maiden.
