Not a lot of form to go upon and Tathkaar is selected ahead of Erlydoors and Passionforfashion. Tathkaar wasn't beaten far in the Spring Cup at Lingfield and the assessor has given her a mark of 79 for her troubles. If running up to that, she sets a fair standard. Erlydoors ran a pleasing introduction over course and distance. She has a future and should give our selection something to think about. Passionforfashion was a very expensive purchase. A half sister to Excuse Moi, the market will give us most clues. Nice Wee Girl looks more exposed than most. Ivory Silk has had two pipeopeners although has run quite green in her racecourse visits thus far. Plum Asset is respected from a yard that can have them ready first time out. Tathkaar need only run up to her Lingfield form to win this and we side with her accordingly.
