This is another open race and Senor Toran, Our Destiny, Chocolate Boy and Banningham Blaze are all in with chances with the vote going to the last mentioned. The selection disappointed over hurdles last time but has shown enough on her recent outings on the turf to make her competitive here. She ran well on this track in a ladies' race last time and with the useful claimer Richard Thomas in the plate she looks capable of a big run. Senor Toran did not get any luck in running when behind Monduru at Lingfield and should be capable of going close here, while Our Destiny will have conditions more to suit than he did at Bath last time, and as he is from a shrewd yard he is worth noting in the market. Chocolate Boy goes well for today's pilot Ryan Moore, but has been generally frustrating to follow so he is passed over for that reason. A number of these would have chances here on the pick of their form, but we will make Banningham Blaze the tentative selection.
