Doric Charm gets the vote in the opener with Top Royelle and Inflagranti rated as the main dangers. The selection was well supported in the market before scoring impressively at Ayr last week when beating Morristown Music. She proved that day that she can handle today's ground conditions and she sets the standard for the rest. Top Royelle is another that will go on the ground and she has been running in better company than this. However, she still has plenty to prove and she does not look as progressive as our selection. Inflagranti has got soem fair form but this may not be her trip and she is unproven on the ground so the percentage call is to take her on. Swift Princess is an interesting newcomer and is worth a look in the market, but for the winner we are happy to stick with Doric Charm.
