Anne of Kiev should prove to be too strong for her rivals here; Chelsea Girl and Motivated Choice look the main dangers. The selection was making her seasonal bow when chasing home Ethaara at Great Leighs last month. She remains unexposed and natural progession would make her tough to beat. Chelsea Girl clearly has ability but she has also had a few chances now and although she is proven on the ground, the likelihood is that she will find at least one too good. Motivated Choice finished well behind our selection on her debut but she ran green that day and she should learn plenty for the experience. Henry Candy's Pappoose could prove best of the others as she shaped with plenty of encouragement on her debut at Yarmouth. However, this does look a good chance for Anne Of Kiev to get her head in front and she is the confident choice.
