Rabshih is the pick over Selinka, with Beaumont and Bert's Memory best of the remainder. Sir Michael Stoute will be more than hopeful of collecting division one of this maiden with Rabshih who shaped well when fourth of eight at Yarmouth on her debut last month. This daughter of the well related Kylemore is entered for the Watership Down Stud Sales Race next week, and victory here will cement her inclusion. Mind you there are others in with leading claims here as well, notably Selinka who has had the benefit of two ouutings so far. Richard Hannon's filly was third to the useful Russian Rosie at Newbury last time and although well held, should have learnt from that effort. Beaumont has posted two unplaced runs so far but hails from a stable full of good juveniles, while the same comment applies to Bert's Memory. For the winner we return to Rabshih.
