Go Go Girl has a good chance of scoring here, with Walker Bay and Pirouettes the possible dangers. The selection has been lightly campaigned but ran a best race yet when third here last time (Stokesies Wish held on that form) in a handicap. It's a big plus that we know she handles the venue and, in what is not a strong race, she gets the vote. Walker Bay ran second at Windsor (Taggerty has two lengths to find on that form) on his first British outing after earlier being lightly raced in the Middle East. He rates a danger, as does John Gosden quite well bred Pirouettes, although a third on the all-weather at Southwell last time marks her down as nothing out of the ordinary. A return to his best juvenile form gives Second Minister a chance, and he is blinkered for the first time here, and Pompey Chimes would not have to be anything out of the ordinary to play a part on his debut. However, as she comes here in form, handles the track and has the assistance of Kieren Fallon, we'll side with Go Go Girl.
