Verdict

Trainer William Haggas has been running at a good strike-rate in recent weeks and even horses not winning seem to be running well in defeat, as seen on Tuesday with One Master. With that in mind, his runner PRETTY BABY could be the one to side with after her Group 3 win at Lingfield when last seen and she gives the impression there's still more to come. Stablemate Move Swiftly is another interesting contender with more progress on the cards while I Can Fly is a player on best form. However, the chief threat to the selection would seem to be Sir Michael Stoute's Rawdaa on the bare form of her second at York last time out behind Lah Ti Dar.
  1. Pretty Baby
  2. Rawdaa
  3. Move Swiftly
