Verdict

Show Me The Lolly showed enough last time to make her the one to beat today and she is preferred over Jools and Freda's Choice. The selection was a close second behind Danzare at Kempton last time and after three runs back after a long absence from the track she now looks ready to take her turn. Jools was flying at the finish last time here and the step-up in trip should suit today. Freda's Choice beat Island Green in banded grade last time but that was a weak event and she did not look the most straightforward that day so she is worth taking on. Tartan Special is from a yard that do well here and he should be noted in the market, but Show Me The Lolly is in good heart and gets the vote.
