Princelet gets the narrow vote here with Mister Mustard and Never So Blue rating the main dangers. The selection was held in high regard last season and although taking a heavy fall when last seen his stable are in form and off what looks a fair mark he looks the one to be on. Mister Mustard rates the main danger on his latest third behind Rosita Bay, he has won off a higher mark in the past and should be watched in the market. Never So Blue won well last time when beating Oops with plenty in hand, but this looks tougher and his overall profile leaves him with a little to find so he is taken on. Adjami looks vulnerable under top weight while Perfect Storm is unexposed and could improve but for the winner we return to Princelet who is taken to win this before going on to better things.
