Charlotte Grey won well last time and she can score again at the main expense of Avoca Dancer and Mr Loire. The selection is a course and distance winner and this filly won well here last time when beating Stargazy. She goes well for this young rider and she looks worth staying on the right side of. Avoca Dancer recorded her first career success at Kempton last time but this is more competitive and she will need to improve on what she has shown so far if she is to get her head in front. Mr Loire has been running well of late but he finished behind Avoca Dancer when the pair last met and he is steadily rising in the weights. Prettilini is from a shrewd yard and is worth a look in the market, but Charlotte Grey is enjoying a purple patch of form and she can win again.
