Gifted Lass is the percentage call ahead of Dysonic, Rowe Park and Greek Secret. Gifted Lass does take a step up in grade but is at least in-form and the front-runner can be expected to be in the firing line from the release of the gates. Dysonic is in good heart at present having scored twice in banded stakes grade. More is required but it would be folly to dismiss. Rowe Park is quickly turned out having ran at Wolverhampton. Greek Secret has an interesting jockey booking and could be one to watch from a shrewd outfit. Maktavish looks sure to set the pace although his backers will be biting their nails as the pack begin to close inside the distance. Viewforth drops back in trip. Gifted Lass is hardly the most inspired of selections but she has more positives than negatives in a trappy affair.
