Flor Y Nata looked a horse to follow after hacking up last time and she can defy top-weight to beat Shogun Prince and She Whispers. Sir Mark Prescott's colt landed a Southwell nursery with the minimum of fuss earlier this week. The main concern is that all her racing has been on the all-weather, but if she shows the same ability on turf she will be very hard to beat. She Whispers is one of two Richard Hannon runners and looks the type to land a nursery, having shown plenty of promise in three outings. Cape Presto is the other East Everleigh contender and is certainly not out of it either on the pick of his form. However, the main threat to the selection could come from Shogun Prince, who was most impressive when comfortably landing a Lingfield maiden last time. He holds Cape Presto on previous running and will be hard to keep out of the frame. The pick of the others could be Salute Him, but Flor Y Nata looks the type to run up a sequence and gets our vote.
