Hinton Admiral, Resignation and Resplendent Alpha will all have their supporters here but we will side with the in-form Lady Lily to lead them home. The selection is lightly-raced and she is chasing the hat-trick today. Granted this does look to be her toughest assignment but it can pay to follow a filly in form and she looks the value call. Hinton Admiral was well beaten by Baby Strange last time at York in a better race than this but he does have some solid form and he is not one to dismiss lightly. Resignation was a close second behind Dubai Builder last time and if he takes to this surface then he would have a fairly obvious chance today. Resplendent Alpha will have no problems on that score as he is a course and distance winner and he is the other to consider, but for the winner we will return to the progressive Lady Lily.
