The usual remarks about watching the market apply here and we are with Peper Harow with Poyle Meg and Green Poppy put up as dangers. The selection was understandably outclassed at Royal Ascot last time out but she had ran respectably in listed company previously and on that evidence, she will prove a tough nut to crack on this drop in class. Poyle Meg ran encouragingly on debut given a poor draw at Windsor. On this evidence, she has a race within her compass. Green Poppy has gone close against weaker opposition at Yarmouth. More is required tonight. Fiorentina is noted in the market. There is plenty of speed in the pedigree but it would be no surprise to see targets later down the line. Barnezet has had easier chances than this and it is with reluctance that we oppose the Richard Hannon inmate. Smokey Ryder is a full sister to Smokey Rye. Fortune In Faith is a half-sister to a number of American winners so could be anything. Peper Harow is the pick.
